I’ve already completed 50 lessons with Hani, and I look forward to every single session. Her lessons are well-structured and always varied, and she provides great materials to work with. She’s also very attentive to my individual needs. Learning a language this way is truly enjoyable, and I can’t wait to continue our language journey together :).

Hani was excellent. She covered all areas that I wish to focus on and has a clear plan for how to improve with my weaker areas in Bahasa Indonesia.

I am into my second package of lessons with Guru Hani Calista, and all lessons have been well-planned and contain a good mix of grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening and reading. I have been very impressed with the high quality of lesson materials so far, which has helped me learn a lot more and gain more confidence in speaking!

Hani was extremely intelligent and quickly assessed what I needed to learn. It's clear she has a lot of experience teaching. She got to the core of what I needed to learn quickly and always stopped and made sure I understood, which I really appreciated. Absolutely fantastic teacher!
