Hi! My name is Francisca. I’m a professional Indonesian teacher for foreigners (BIPA teacher). I’m a native Indonesian speaker, living in Indonesia. I love learning and teaching languages. I’m also passionate about writing. I've published a novel, and in my free time I write on a blogger platform.
Ciao! Mi chiamo Francisca. Sono un’insegnante di lingua indonesiana per gli stranieri. Sono madrelingua indonesiana. Ho una grande passione per le lingue e sono appassionata anche di scrivere. Ho viaggiato in molti paesi, e ho vissuto in Australia ed Italia per motivi di studio.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Indonesian online to foreigners for 10 years now. I have taught students from all over the world at any level with a variety of learning goals.
I graduated from Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, University of Indonesia, majoring in Communication Science, and I hold a Sertifikat Pengajaran BIPA (Certificate of Teaching Indonesian as a Foreign Language). I also studied several foreign languages at cultural institutions in Indonesia and universities overseas.
I love teaching and I am always enthusiastic to help others to study my native language and share about Indonesian culture.My lessons & teaching style
I believe that all aspects of language are important when we learn a foreign language. Hence, in my classes I will teach these aspects but I will adjust depending on what type of the class is taken. I will design my lessons based on my student needs and goals.
My focus in teaching is also the comprehension of how to use Indonesian language properly, in order to my students will be CONFIDENT to use it in any situation and will be able to speak Indonesian PROPERLY.
I’m serious teaching my students but I’m patient and I like to create friendly atmosphere in my classes.
I’ll do my best to help you to achieve your Indonesian learning goals.My teaching material

Francisca was the first teacher I’ve tried with Italki, and she remains the standard of excellence against which I compare others. Always very well-prepared, ready to explain, help and lead one patiently. I originally wanted to learn a few phrases for my trip, but Francisca made me fall in love with Indonesian. I look forward to studying more with her.

It is not in my personality to write online reviews for any product or service. In fact, this is the first one I have ever submitted. However, I have been compelled to share my experience of being taught Bahasa Indonesia by Francisca so that others can seriously consider this teacher. I have now had 29 lessons with Francisca, in which I have gone through the beginner course, and am now in the intermediate course, becoming much more confident in my language skills along the way. Francisca has been supportive and professional at every stage. The lesson plans themselves are always thoughtfully arranged with prepared materials, exercises and even homework. It is up to you to put in the work, but Francisca will carefully lay out the path to success for you to follow. During the lessons, she is always kind, supportive, and patient with clarifications, corrections, and answering questions. This review is long overdue! Francisca is the answer to your Bahasa Indonesia goals!

Another great lesson. I have had many students tell me that it is a huge difference when they take a lesson with a teacher, as opposed to learning on their own, and I agree: a teacher like Francisca does make a huge difference in your progress. I am already looking forward to the next session! Thank you, Francisca

The Wifi connection on the teacher’s side is too bad, she keeps dropping off and couldn’t finish one practice.
