About Me
italki teacher since Apr 16, 2020InterestsFoodTravelPets & Animals
Hi, I'm Lina! I'm from Indonesia. I've got a bachelor's degree in Indonesian Language and Literature and a master's degree in Indonesian Linguistics. I started teaching Indonesian Language in April 2020 and since then I have decided that I will become an Indonesian teacher because I love this job so much! I love sleeping, eating, and watching YouTube. << Sounds like I'm a lazy person. LOL >> But apart from my laziness, I work really hard to prepare the best materials for my students.
Me as a Teacher
I believe language is a living thing that exists when people communicate with each other. That's why making sure students talk as much as possible is my main focus. I work to make sure you learn from real-world material and we do activities that directly relate to things you would encounter in real life. Everything is based on your needs.My lessons & teaching style
I make my own material for my lessons and I give it to each of my students so you can use it to study in your own time as well as in my lessons. If you would like to see some examples of the material then you can send me a message.
That's all for now, if you have any further questions or would like to request a specific lesson topic from me, please let me know. I am very flexible and want to help you with whatever it is that you need to reach your goals!
Love, Lina. :)My teaching material

Lina is a great teacher. Her small-talk method is fun, engaging and effective. I love how we spend a lot of time each lesson just talking - that's fantastic practice! I learn new words in sentences, I listen to the language more when she speaks, and, of course, I try to make sentences on my own. Lina writes everything down so I can read it again and again after our lesson. She prepares very structured and clear materials. I also have homework, and when we check it, Lina asks some additional questions - so from the very beginning (I started from 0), you will talk A LOT during Lina's classes, and that's good. She is super kind and has positive energy. Thank you for guiding me on my way to learn Indonesian :)

Ibu Lina does a great job with teaching beginners, which isn't easy! This was my first full lesson with her after a trial lesson, and I really enjoyed my time! Lina provides examples, a well-developed module curriculum, and also free talking time at the beginning of the class. She makes me feel like I have way more Indonesian in my arsenal than I originally thought. Terima kasih banyak Ibu Lina!

It wasn’t just my first lesson — it was actually the first time in my life that I had a conversation in Indonesian. I was nervous before it started, but she spoke very slowly and clearly, and explained anything I didn’t understand in English right away. She also shared her lesson notes, which makes it easy to review afterward. I’m planning a trip to Bali, and I took the lesson before going. Thanks to her, I feel confident about my trip. Terima kasih banyak😊
