***About Me Hello, everybody! I’m Esther. A native Indonesian and Javanese speakers, I was born and raised in Indonesia. I am open-minded, flexible and very positive. If you come up with something interesting to talk about, please, don't hesitate to suggest me and I'll gladly discuss with you about that. Why are you learning languages? :) * If it's your first lesson, please tell me what do you want, your Indonesian level and your goals! :) * ***Me as a Teacher I have been a teacher since 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) *[CANCELATION POLICY]* I make time for you cancel/reschedule not later than 12 hours before the session. Otherwise charges WILL apply. If you are late for class, I'll wait for you for 15 minutes. If you don't show up at that point, I'll assume you're not coming. See you soon in my class :)
