About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021InterestsGamingFilms & TV SeriesAnimation & ComicsPets & AnimalsMusic
You can call me Lisa. I'm a TEFL- and TESOL-certified English teacher. I've been teaching English for over six years and Indonesian for about four years. English has been my primary means of communication within my family for almost 24 years. I am enthusiastic and passionate about teaching, and most of my students say I'm very patient and easy to talk to.
My hobbies include editing videos, playing video games on consoles or mobile devices, driving, watching anime and movies, cooking, and listening to music. In the gaming world, I'm known as Katzen or Kutekatzen. Just like in real life, I'm also very talkative online and enjoy chatting with lots of people! :DMe as a Teacher
Most people, including my language partners, say that I'm very patient, warm, enthusiastic, open-minded, and fun! (Sometimes, I can be a little silly). Haha.
In most cases, people seem to feel comfortable around me after just a few conversations. So, if you're shy or introverted, you'll likely feel at ease talking to me in a relatively short time. When we're comfortable and have smooth communication, the learning process becomes much more enjoyable.My lessons & teaching style
Some important factors to consider about my classes are that I use unlimited broadband internet and Zoom Pro for online teaching. As a result, my internet connection and classes are usually very stable, ensuring a pleasant learning experience.
FOR TEENS:
I can help you with your Indonesian homework, or I can simply be your language partner to have a conversation with.
FOR ADULTS:
For adults who are learning how to speak English and Indonesian, I am more of a talking buddy than a teacher. I teach by having real conversations with you, which could be about anything.My teaching material

Lisa is an indispensable source of information of all things Indonesian. I feel I don't need to look further for my language leaning needs.

I have learnt Bahasa Indo with 7 teachers and Guru Lisa is the best teacher I have had.
Guru Lisa has great teaching methodology. She speaks to me in Bahasa 80% of the time at a level I can understand. We practice a lot in our lessons and I was able to learn good expressions that my Indonesian friends commended me on. One even asked if I grew up in Indo!
After my lessons with her, my latest trip to Indonesia was much different than before. I could converse much better and recognize more words on road signs (by learning imbuhan), especially with all the political campaign posters. I brought my parents around, spoke to the receptionists, drivers, and servers confidently from all the practice. Drivers in JKT are curious and friendly when they hear a foreigner speaking Indo, so I was happy to be able to chat with them in Bahasa.
Guru Lisa is also very hardworking. She is always early for lessons, takes notes in class and cleans them up to share later so I can focus on understanding.

I feel that Lisa cares enough to explain nuances in the language so that you really learn the material.

Kalissa is an excellent teacher. I've been taking lessons from her for about a month now, and she has been great at explaining things and helping me understand proper pronunciation. She is very patient with me and always offers lots of encouragement. I highly recommend her as a tutor!

I feel my conversational skills are improving consistently with my lessons with Lisa. She also has a knack for using the correct wording to explain or convey meaning. I feel it helps deepen my understanding and helps me to retain new information.
