New students are welcome! If my available times don't work for you, please contact me to find a suitable slot.
I have experience as a tutor from 2018-2019 at the Language and Culture Services Center at Universitas Gadjah Mada. Since 2020, I've been teaching Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, and English on Italki. After graduating in 2020 with a degree in Indonesian Language and Literature, I published several research papers, which you can find on ResearchGate. I've also been trained in "Bahasa Indonesia for Foreigners Teaching Methods." My syllabus is designed to help you achieve your goal of learning Bahasa Indonesia.Me as a Teacher
I always pay attention to my students under my program. I also encourage them to speak Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, and English at every meeting. During the conversation, I give some popular and conversational words for my student to speak communicatively.My lessons & teaching style
My lesson and teaching style is very flexible and explorative depending on the student particular goal. Most of the time, speaking and improving more vocabulary are my two main concern in every class. Therefore, I expect the student to speak more with words they already know, or at least reponds in a complete senctence under my question.
[NOTE FOR NEW COMER]
If you are new to italki, please make sure you explore the italki FAQ before our lesson so you will have no difficulties.My teaching material

This is the second language that I am learning with teacher Yacub and it is truly amazing. He has his own teaching format that works effectively in learning bahasa Indonesia very fast. I experienced the effectiveness also with the Javanese language lessons. Teacher Yacub also motivates and stimulates to make complete sentences when trying to formulate sentences in the language you are learning, so that you get familiar with the sentence structure very fast. Also the lesson material if very well created and makes each lesson well organized. He also created exercises in iTalki to practice the new material. I am very happy that teacher Yacub provides language lessons for the languages I really like to learn.

Mas Yacub has been a wonderful teacher for my 12-year-old son. He found a way to engage his interest with Indonesian comics as well as practicing conversation. He has always been 100% punctual and engaged and willing to accommodate time differences between the US and Indonesia. Highly recommended!

So grateful to have found Yacub. I've been teaching professionally for 17 years and Yacub's approach is extremely efficient and impressive. He is very thorough and keeps the lesson engaging throughout. He also includes helpful assignments to continue learning until the next class. If you're thinking about signing up with him, please do! He's truly a 10/10 teacher
