Hello students, my name is Ben. I am a tutor on italki and I'm a native speaker of Indonesian language. I live in Jakarta. I also speak English fluently. Beside a tutor on italki, I also work as a vocal teacher and singer-songwriter and rapper. I like writing (songs, poems, stories), reading, watching movies, singing, listening to music, playing sports, and most important... learning language!

Ben is patient, and I like that he places more of an empasis on casual every day conversation than textbook formal speaking. He is generous with his time and is helpful for finding more resources to learn Bahasa Indonesia.

I just had my first lesson with Ben. Ben was very friendly and patient. He was constantly looking for the best way to help me. He did this by asking me about my goals and what I find difficult. He suggested a few learning methods that we will try next time.
