Hello, everyone!
I was born in Indonesia into an English-speaking family. That's how I came to have 2 native languages. My parents and grandparents were teachers. So I guess, a teacher's blood runs through my veins. As a matter of fact, many have commented that my way of teaching makes it easier to understand. I myself always feel a deep sense of satisfaction when I witness my students put what they have learned from me into practice.
I started learning Japanese as a second language after graduating from high school. Then I worked as a Japanese-English-Indonesian interpreter & translator at a Japanese manufacturing company. That said, I know what it is like to learn a second language, and now I'm teaching I have put myself into practice.
How I Can Help
※ I will deliver my lessons either in English, or Indonesian, or Japanese, as per request.
- WRITING
- I can help you with writing manuals, operation standards, emails, presentations, etc.
- Would you like to learn how to express your ideas or thoughts in written words? Do you wish to begin from the simplest form e.g. a to-do-list, a diary entry, etc.? Let me be at your service.
- CONVERSATION
- I can help you with how to deliver a presentation, proposal, speech, etc. so that your English or Indonesian would sound as natural as possible.
- Would you like to have someone you can practice your English or Indonesian with? I'll be there for you. I would give you feedback so that you can improve.
- We can practice through a discussion on a topic of your choice, or we can do a role-play, or you can tell me about something you like and see if I can understand what you are trying to say.
- TRANSLATION
- As you might have noticed, being fluent in a certain language is one thing, being able to translate the language into another language, is another thing. I have a lot of experience with this. Let me be your guide on how to translate in such a way that the result would appear natural, just as if it were the original version.
- PRACTICE
- I know you have already heard it a hundred times: "Practice makes perfect." I'd say, "For ultimate perfection, you must have fun." I myself already experienced so much fun creating language exercise modules using Kahoot as the platform. My students have commented that it was fun and at the same time a great help for their improvement. You don't need to download the app if you wish not to. You can practice using your smartphone or desktop. You can practice while standing in a queue, or while sitting on the bus, or while drinking a cup of coffee, etc., etc.
For further details of the lessons I have to offer you, please refer to my Lesson Section. I hope to see you in one of my classes!
Cheers,
Shuni
