Living in Bandung, Indonesia

Halo! I’m Riska—a language lover from Indonesia with roots in Garut’s lush hills and a heart for sharing my culture. Fluent in both Bahasa Indonesia and Sundanese, I help learners unlock these vibrant languages while weaving in local traditions and daily life. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me hiking Bandung’s trails (humming Sundanese folk songs!) or chatting with global friends online. My childhood adventures taught me curiosity—now, I channel it into making lessons lively and relatable. Let’s explore language together—your journey starts here! From bustling classrooms to intimate one-on-one sessions, my teaching career has taken me on a diverse and rewarding journey since 2011. I cut my teeth teaching English to both elementary and high school students in a language center, before transitioning to private tutoring from home.

This varied experience has honed my ability to adapt to different learning styles and create engaging lessons for all ages. It's this adaptability and my deep love for language that brought me to iTalki. I look forward to meeting you! In our lessons, we'll focus on developing practical conversation and clear pronunciation – essential skills for effective communication. I believe in a collaborative approach, and I'm always open to your suggestions on how we can best tailor the ...

It was really enjoyable reading a popular Indonesian book with Riska today. It was like being at a book club with a true friend. I am very grateful that with Riska's help I have been able to reach a level of Indonesian where I can both read at novel level and discuss.

I had a great first lesson with Riska! She is very kind, has a fun and laidback approach and was very patient with me and my foreign accent. I even got to meet her cat at the end of the lesson! Thanks Riska, see you again soon :)

Great lesson with Riska! We continued working on unit 5 in the textbook. We learned about movies and did a reading exercise about "Rudy Habibie". We also learned about the prefix "per" and its different uses. Riska did a great job of giving her own feedback about movies and music to help me better understand!

Riska is an excellent Sundanese teacher. I highly recommend her for instruction in Indonesian or Sundanese. She is patient, kind, and flexible, and encouraging; even though I’m a total beginner in Sundanese, I feel motivated and confident thanks to her. I learn so much from our lessons, and I love that she goes way above and beyond to create interesting materials for us to review together. Hatur nuhun! 💕

Great lesson with Riska! We completed unit 4 in the textbook and moved on to unit 5. We also talked about being the oldest/youngest child in our family. Riska did a good job of explaining the dialogs that we read, and making sure that she had the proper definitions!
