MEET YOUR TUTOR
Hallo! I'm Retania Christianisa (Eta)
I'm an Indonesian Language Tutor who believes that learning a language is more than memorizing words—it's about understanding the people and culture behind them.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and a Master's degree in Linguistics, and I've helped 80+ students from around the world build confidence in speaking Indonesian. My experience working with international students has shown me that every learner has different goals, whether it's traveling, building relationships, studying, or simply exploring a new culture.
In my lessons, you'll learn the Indonesian people actually speak—along with the cultural insights, everyday expressions, and real-life situations that make conversations feel natural. My goal is to make learning practical, enjoyable, and meaningful, so you can connect with Indonesia with confidence.

What Students Says
Retania is a super tutor! She has helped me learn grammatical structures, while also teaching me vocabulary at the same time. She also makes sure to include real life examples and conversations to make my learning more meaningful to my goals. She is a wonderful and funny person who makes classes enjoyable and easy. I would highly recommend Retania if you want a knowledgeable and compassionate tutor for Bahasa Indonesia :)

10/10. If you're looking for well structured lessons with the flexibility to help you also learn more organically then Retania is your tutor. She has helped me gain more confidence in speaking bahasa Indonesia for my wedding preparations, as well as taught me the basics in conversing with people. I'm a bit of a slow learner but Retania has a lot of patience and understanding, which is what you want from a tutor when you're learning something that you find difficult. Thanks Retania. :D

Today marks 70+ hours learning Bahasa Indonesia. So grateful for my amazing teacher Eta, who got me from "terimakasih" to having proper conversations in Indonesian. It makes such a difference living in Indonesia & being able to speak the language - very excited too keep learning & getting better everyday.
