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.

Education
2023 - 2024
Bachelor’s - Sustainability MinorWith the Indonesian International Student Mobility Award (IISMA), I conducted a sustainability minor program at Maastricht University. This minor program focused deeply on sustainability discourse happening right now at the UN, regarding various aspects of sustainability, be it nature, health, or environment. This was the program that really opened my eyes to how a linguistics person can collaborate in public discourse and how terminology and semantics matters for discussions on global issues.
2021 - 2022
Bachelor’s - Leadership Exchange ProgramAt Singapore Polytechnic, I was trusted with representing my home country and institution as a delegate in their Temasek Foundation Specialists' Community Action and Leadership Exchange (TF SCALE), where I got to work on innovative solutions on global environmental problems as I network with fellow students and mentors from ASEAN Nations.
2021 - 2021
Bachelor’s - Human Resources and multiculturalism in a global companyAs a part of my undergraduate program, I was able to attend an online winter school exchange program held by KAMK Finland.
I got to improve my networking skills as well as get to know more about Human Resources within a global context
2020 - 2024
Bachelor’s - Entrepreneurship - Business CreationWith entrepreneurship studies, I got to do a lot of public speaking training as part of my marketing course, both public speaking in Bahasa Indonesia, and English. I am also a certified senior student mentor and a campus ambassador.
With my experience at the campus, I am also trusted to represent Indonesia and my campus in multiple international forums throughout the duration of my study.
Work Experience
2021 - 2022
English TutorAfter a long selection process, I was accepted to be an English tutor at BINUS LC, here I got to help fellow students in building their public speaking and general language skills with routine online meetings.

I've had a lot of lessons with Richard and he is a very patient and organised teacher. We do a lot of speaking, review materials and readings which has helped me a lot in developing my Indonesian skills. Richard is always very patient and explains well, and he always shows interest and looks for new ways to keep learning engaging. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher if you want to improve your Indonesian skills! Terima kasih banyak!!!

Richard was a great teacher with great resources. I very much appreciated that he reviewed resources I sent him but also brought his own based on teaching Bahasa Indonesia to foreign learners. I really appreciated that even though Richard can speak English well that he only used Bahasa Indonesia with me. Thankyou Richard.
