🇬🇧 Hi! I’m Dani! An Indonesian tutor and MA student in History at Seoul National University. I teach Bahasa Indonesia through culture, context, and conversation. My lessons combine grammar, slang, and real-life expression in a way that’s engaging yet structured.
With a background in history and regional studies, I help learners not only speak Indonesian but also understand the ideas, humor, and values behind the language. Every session feels natural, focused, and connected to real experiences.
🇮🇩 Kelas saya menggabungkan budaya, konteks, dan percakapan nyata, sehingga belajar terasa alami tapi tetap terarah!
Me as a Teacher
🇬🇧 I teach with patience and empathy, listening first before guiding. My goal is to help you communicate confidently, not perfectly. Mistakes are part of the process; they help us grow. I create an encouraging environment where you can relax, think, and express freely in Bahasa Indonesia.
🇮🇩 Saya mengajar dengan sabar dan mendengarkan lebih dulu sebelum memberi arahan. Tujuan saya sederhana: membantu kamu berbicara dengan percaya diri. Kesalahan adalah bagian dari proses: yang penting adalah konsistensi dan keberanian untuk mencoba.My lessons & teaching style
🇬🇧 Learning with me is flexible and purposeful. We’ll use the PDSA cycle (Plan, Do, See, Act) to track your progress clearly. You can choose from conversational sessions, grammar-focused lessons, or topic-based discussions (like travel, work, or history). Each class adapts to your rhythm — consistent, realistic, and meaningful.
🇮🇩 Belajar bersama saya fleksibel dan berorientasi pada kemajuan. Kita gunakan siklus PDSA (Plan, Do, See, Act) untuk memantau perkembanganmu. Kamu bisa pilih belajar lewat percakapan santai, tata bahasa, atau topik budaya. Kelas saya disesuaikan dengan ritme dan tujuan kamu.My teaching material

Dani was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I felt very engaged and comfortable in the session and the conversation has flown very naturally. As I am looking to strengthen my speaking skill while he has been a good conversation partner, Il’ll surely continue the lessons with him.

I've had two lessons with Dani so far and it's been good practice with lots of opportunity to learn. He knows the language well, is good at explaining etymology and usage, and situational differences of the language, like formal vs informal, friend vs stranger.

Just finished my trial lesson and was thoroughly impressed. He came prepared with all necessary materials and quickly assessed where I am in my learning journey. Created a solid curriculum with clear next steps that showed real thoughtfulness. What stood out most was his professionalism and patience, making the learning environment comfortable and supportive. This is just the first of many lessons I'll be taking. Based on this experience, he's better than most tutors I've encountered. Don't hesitate to reach out if you're looking for quality instruction and a professional approach. Looking forward to continuing with such a capable instructor!
