From a volunteer teacher in a Jakarta orphanage to teaching at Yale University and University of Wisconsin-Madison on a Fulbright grant, language has been my passport.

Since then, I’ve guided hundreds of professionals to swap hesitation for confident communication in boardrooms and beyond.

I’ve also guided scholarship hunters to craft personal essays and top scores on TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, SAT, and other high-stakes tests. My data-driven strategies turn grammar and phonology insights into their exam success.

Colloquial Indonesian Researcher-Teacher

I build courses on spoken Indonesian using social media to reveal authentic slang and discourse. The same approach powers my Facebook page Colloquial Indonesian. 

Linguist — Syntax & Phonology 

With a magna cum laude M.A. in applied linguistics and a B.Ed. in language teaching, I have served duties assigned by my country as a national language ambassador.

When I'm off-duty, you’ll find me on Duolingo comparing and contrasting 10+ languages' syntaxes and phonological systems. That 'beginner feeling' keeps my teaching sharp.

My research (nine papers and a book chapter) bridges theory and practice in language teaching, sociolinguistics, translation, and lexicogrammar.  

Today my organization is advancing its mission to help people navigate the challenges of learning languages. My firsthand experience in over 25 countries influences all my lessons, helping students understand the universal principles of world languages. 

Study with me if you want:

1. Targeted exam tactics & weekly analytics.

2. 24/7 online practice tests & game-style drills.

3. Authentic insight into colloquial Indonesian by a native-speaker researcher & teacher.
