Selamat datang!* I’m Richard Halim, your guide to mastering Indonesian—whether for UKBI certification, daily conversations, or exploring Indonesia’s rich culture. As a multilingual tutor (Indonesian, Javanese, English, Dutch), I blend language teaching with cultural insights—think virtual tours of street signs, local ads, and hidden gems! My exchange student background helps me tailor lessons for global learners, especially professionals and students preparing for life in Indonesia. Let’s turn language hurdles into stepping stones—*ayo belajar!*"Me as a Teacher
With experience in the academic and professional fields in Indonesia, I am thrilled to share not only the Indonesian language but also Indonesian culture in general. This is perfect for future international students and professionals looking to expand and explore Indonesia. My lessons & teaching style
To immerse my students, I occasionally conduct virtual tours, where I can introduce them to Indonesian street signs, adverts, and other interesting aspects that are rarely discussed in formal lesson plans.
I can teach Bahasa Indonesia to both beginner and intermediate-level students. With various teaching tools and materials, I am confident that regardless of your proficiency level, you will be able to pick up interesting tips and tricks about Bahasa Indonesia with me.

I really enjoy Richard’s teaching style. He’s friendly, approachable, and easy-going, which makes learning with him a comfortable experience. His teaching is clear and well-structured, and after each class, he sends me all the materials in a Google Doc format, so I can easily access them anytime. We started with basic greetings, and now we’ve moved on to numbers and currency. With each lesson, I’m learning more and more, and it’s great because Richard is an excellent teacher.
