😎 Me:
I’ve been running online classes on this platform since 2023 and have helped over 400 learners achieve their language goals, all while making sure they have a great time.
I completed a 3-year language program prior to university, focusing mostly on English (CEFR Level: C1), as well as Spanish (DELE B1) and German. I hold a Master's Degree in Political Science and I've also worked in various sectors over the past 8 years.
As an online language tutor, my goal extends beyond helping you become fluent, eloquent, and confident in your language skills—I also strive to provide a sense of fulfillment on your learning journey.
On a more personal note, I'm a well-rounded individual with a fun side; good at small talks, great at deep conversation, and a natural at throwing spontaneous puns! A good communicator, and an even better listener.
🌟 My Tutoring Sessions:
My tutoring approach combines proven methods, creative teaching ideas, and practical strategies to help you confidently overcome challenges in acquiring Indonesian. By fostering a safe and encouraging environment, I aim to deliver an enjoyable learning experience tailored to your individual needs and goals.
To provide a solid, well-structured foundation in essential areas, I use self-created tutoring resources (aligned with the BIPA standards), formal PDF textbooks, presentation slides, supplemented by contemporary, authentic materials such as short videos and popular articles.
To enhance your fluency and accuracy, we'll engage in speaking practices covering variety of topics, as well as interactive exercises such as quizzes and games. I'll also equip you with phrases, idioms, as well as some slangs; allowing you to become familiar with the practical use of the language in real-life settings.

Rest assured, whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced learner, I'd be happy to accompany you throughout your learning journey. So, go ahead and book a trial with me!

Aqil is a mentor who’s just as invested in my progress as I am. He’s very attentive and always used practical examples that made the grammar and rules click for me. I really appreciated it since I like things to stay logical and get those tricky details exactly right. When I feel overwhelmed, his supportive and encouraging feedback always gives me the confidence to keep pushing forward.

Aqil is a great tutor and a really engaging conversationalist. He makes the language easy to understand, even for a complete beginner like me, and he’s knowledgeable about so many different topics, which makes the lessons even more interesting. The materials are thoughtfully prepared and tailored to my level, and the lessons are always practical, engaging, and full of useful exercises that help me improve quickly. I’ve learned a lot and feel much more confident overall.

As someone who travels to Indonesia whenever I get the chance, I finally decided to properly learn the language, and I’m really glad I found Aqil on LearnZone. From the start he made me feel very comfortable, which I appreciate since I was quite nervous to speak as a beginner. He’s incredibly patient and kind, even when I need time to think or make mistakes. He keeps notes of everything we learn with examples of new vocabulary so I can easily review them later. I also love that he explains not just what words mean, but how to actually use them in everyday conversations, which makes the lessons very practical. You can tell he’s very knowledgeable and experienced, and I’m really grateful to have him as my tutor.
