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 the art of learning languages through people—so whether you’re starting Indonesian or polishing casual English, I’ll make it feel like chatting with a friend. When I’m not teaching, I’m writing songs, strumming my guitar, or sharing stories online—proof that language is best learned when it’s alive. Let’s turn your goals into conversations!Me as a Teacher
Growing up in a non-English-speaking family, I had no prior experience living in an English-speaking environment. So, it may come as a surprise that I am fluent in English. Over time, I have discovered effective and enjoyable methods that helped me learn a completely different language from my mother tongue. I believe that the key to learning a new language is to start with the student's interests. Therefore, I always use their interests as an approach to learning the language, be it English or Indonesian. My lessons & teaching style

Yohana provided a sheet with the most common phrases and words to get started. She explained the vowels in Indonesian pronunciation as well as explaining Noun-Subject and verb.

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.

Yohana is exactly the teacher I needed. After only the introduction I realized she will help me reach my goals through practice, persistence and joy!
What a fun and amazing opportunity to learn and study with someone as crazy as I am about language learning. So glad I found the best teacher of Bahasa Indonesia. 🇮🇩
