I have been a Community Tutor here on Italki since Oktober 2017 and have helped hundreds of students achieve their Indonesian language goals.
I love teaching because it's a dynamic and an interesting job. You can teach your students and you can learn from them as well! :)
The happiness and joy of the student + their progresses with their target language = my biggest prize (so my students are the ones who motivate me to work better) and I try to combine: a bit of reading, a bit of writing, a bit of conversation, a bit of grammar and a bit of listening by using different resources.
I'm happy to discuss any subject that interests you (Maybe you can teach me about something!).My lessons & teaching style
My classes are private, so I try to customize the class for each student and to identify their needs. It actually takes a few classes to do this, which is difficult because the student usually expects you to figure it out quickly. I try to help each person to reach their language goals of fluency and to give them the skills to be a better language learner so that they aren't dependent upon me or any other teacher or material. My main goal is for the student to speak 80% of the time in class.
For free-talk practice, you can choose a topic that we discuss (Grammar and vocabulary mistakes will be corrected, new vocabulary will be introduced in the process as we discuss different topics)My teaching material

Esther does a great job teaching me (a new beginner) Indonesian. She is very flexible and answers all of my questions. We have lessons we are following, but I often ask her for additional vocabulary or examples to round out words to make sure I understand context and usage. This also helps me to better remember new vocabulary words. I sometimes also ask Ester how to say things that concern my daily activities. Ester types sample words/sentences in Google docs which helps me to understand pronunciation. Great experience for me. Bu guru Estherina terima kasih Thanks much Ms. Guru (teacher) Estherina!

I have had many lessons with Esther and I feel that my reading, comprehension, and confidence builds with each lesson. Esther is always on time, and provides the reading material well before the lesson. Esther is patient and willing to help with the more difficult readings. Highly recommended.

After having 35 lessons with teacher Esther, I have to say she is a brilliant tutor who have a strong work ethnic with great teaching style. For the last 35 times, she had NEVER EVER missed any off them and always show up in time. She isn't that kind of amateur tutor who didn't respect their work at all. For the point of punctuality, I can tell how dedicated she is. This is the most basic things and the most important things. She is way more than a community tutor but a professional Bahasa Indonesia Teacher. I dedictated by time learning Indonesian and teacher Esther provided me great environment of learning Indonesian. I have to confessed that, I always heared about the bad reputation of Indonesians : Always being late and love to make excuses. BUT teacher Estehr isn't like that at all. So if you are still hesitating who is the best teacher, BRIEFCASE: HERE HERE HERE, THIS IS THE BEST ONE YOU CAN EVER HAD! NAILED IT. I really want to give her 10 stars but I am sorry that I can't. :((
