Indonesian lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering indonesian lessons
You teach Indonesian, a language with simple grammar and consistent spelling, for travel, work and study. Your listing should explain how you teach the affixes and the learners you help most.
What customers ask
- I am moving to Jakarta for work. What should I focus on first?
- How do the affixes work? Every word seems to change.
- Can I learn enough for a two week trip?
- Do you teach teens, and how do you handle a parent who wants to sit in?
- Do you teach formal Indonesian for work, or everyday speech?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask what the student needs Indonesian for and how soon they need it.
- Offer a short speaking check, and explain how it will shape the first lessons.
- Show a sample lesson built on a real need, such as a hotel check in or a work introduction.
- Share a short affix drill so the student sees how you teach the patterns.
- Put the lesson count, focus areas, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say whether you teach formal, everyday or both registers, so students know what they will learn.
What to put on your profile
- Your Indonesian training, such as a degree, a teaching certificate or time spent living or working in Indonesia.
- Whether you are a native Indonesian speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the registers you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as travelers, professionals or students.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a list of the words and patterns covered in each lesson so the student can review them.
- Recommend a conversation group or a work Indonesian course when the student's goal fits, and let them decide.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Indonesian privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
