Certified Indonesian Teacher as a Foreign Language | 10+ Years of Proven, Structured Coaching I am a certified Indonesian teacher with a background in communication and journalism and over 10 years of teaching experience. With this background, I teach Indonesian not only as a "language," but as a practical communication tool used in real-life and professional contexts. My approach is structured, personalized, and outcome-oriented, with lessons tailored to each learner’s goals, level, and learning style, ensuring clear and measurable progress in communication. As a certified teacher of Indonesian as a foreign language, I design tailored syllabi and lesson materials. I’ve taught expatriates—including university students, professionals, journalists, social workers, and polyglots—both online and face-to-face. I also share FREE Indonesian learning videos on social media. For 1-on-1 classes, I offer 30- and 45-minute lessons only.

I’ve already completed 50 lessons with Hani, and I look forward to every single session. Her lessons are well-structured and always varied, and she provides great materials to work with. She’s also very attentive to my individual needs. Learning a language this way is truly enjoyable, and I can’t wait to continue our language journey together :).

I am into my second package of lessons with Guru Hani Calista, and all lessons have been well-planned and contain a good mix of grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening and reading. I have been very impressed with the high quality of lesson materials so far, which has helped me learn a lot more and gain more confidence in speaking!

Hani was excellent. She covered all areas that I wish to focus on and has a clear plan for how to improve with my weaker areas in Bahasa Indonesia.
