Hi! I’m Yohana (or Yo)—an Indonesian language enthusiast who turned self-taught English fluency into a passion for teaching. Growing up without an English-speaking background, I mastered languages by connecting with people. Whether you’re starting Indonesian or polishing casual English, my lessons feel like chatting with a friend! When I’m not teaching, I’m writing songs, strumming my guitar, or creating content. And hey, a language is best learned when it’s alive. I believe the key to fluency is your own interests, so I tailor our sessions around what you love. My focus is on natural, daily conversation, welcoming everyone from absolute beginners to advanced learners. 📋 Class Rules 1. Punctuality: Please arrive on time for your class. 2. Confirmation: Once the class is finished, please confirm its completion. 3. Rescheduling: Inform me at least 3 hours before class starts if you need to reschedule. 4. No-Shows: If you miss a class without prior notice, I reserve the right to claim the credit. Let’s turn your goals into conversations!

Yohanna is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had the pleasure of learning from. She is truly world class. I wish more teachers would teach as well as she does and I know that she truly loves what she does because she is so good at it. I was excited to learn before taking her class but after seeing how much progress I have made after only 2 lessons I am now even more confident and excited about learning.
