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!
Me as a Teacher
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. Currently, I'm inspiring young minds as a middle school English teacher. I've even had the privilege of introducing international children to the beauty of Bahasa Indonesia. 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!
My lessons & teaching style
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 lessons to your learning style and goals. To maximize your progress, regular practice is key, and I'll provide targeted homework assignments to reinforce what we cover in class. We can also incorporate assessments to monitor your improvement and ensure you're achieving your learning objectives. If my current schedule presents a challenge due to time zone differences, please reach out. I'm committed to finding a scheduling solution that works for you.

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 finished the remaining part of lesson 7 and also completed all of lesson 8. I was a bit confused by the book's explanation of the "di" prefix, but Riska helped me understand it. The comparison and antonyms were pretty easy to understand. I have my trouble spots, but Riska has a good way of explaining things easily..which really helps!

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 looked at the "meng" prefix and how it changes depending on several different factors. Riska went through and explained all the example sentences. We also did different exercises to attach the "meng" prefix and to figure out the root word based on the word that includes the "meng" prefix. Riska also helped me out with pronunciation - especially when I read a story from lesson 7. Riska is very helpful and always organized!
