I'm a bahasa Indonesia tutor with over 10 years of teaching experiences including 4 years of teaching online. I hold a master degree on language learning and teaching from a reputable university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. With my experiences and educational background, I hope I can help you enjoy your bahasa Indonesia learning journey. I'm friendly and open to any kinds of learners and easy to adapt with the characteristics of them. Hope to see you in my lessons.
Note: My availability on the calendar is applied during Ramadan 2024 only. I limit 3 lessons per day. So, I am sorry if I need to cancel some lesson requests. The schedule might be changed after Ramadan. Thank you.Me as a Teacher
I also love learning languages so I know the easiest way to learn a language. The class will be fun as I'll give you lessons based on your needs and learning goals. In each meeting, I'll provide a material to learn and we can practice using the language both spoken and written. I'm flexible and adaptive. Take the class and enjoy the learning.My lessons & teaching style
After hundreds of lessons I had thought, I experience that every learner has unique learning style(s). Therefore, I always adjust my teaching style to my students' characters. So, they can achieve whatever their learning goals are.
My students come from different ages, backgrounds, and cultures. The reviews they left can tell everything. Check my lesson reviews to find out more about my lessons.My teaching material

Hesti is a good teacher Bahasa Indonesia. This was the first lesson through Italki, but i've had many lessons from her in the past through another provider. She is always cheerful and very motivating. I can now hold a conversation fairly well in Indonesian without feeling insecure, thanks to Hesti!

We just had some connection problems that we don't usually have. Most of the lesson was delayed by about 10 seconds so it was difficult to have a conversation or learn as usual. The teacher was in a different location than usual, so that may have been related, but I'm not sure.

Every lesson is interesting with Mbak Hesti. It's a good mix of Basa-basi (small talk) and doing planned work with material prepared. Thank you and looking forward to our next session.

The lesson with Mbak Hesti is always fun. We learned a lot about different foods, the different holidays, also the difference between belum vs tidak, and belum vs sudah
It's very easy to speak with her and she is a great teacher. I should learn harder though, my goal is to be fluent :-).
