About me
Hi! I'm Shiva. I come from a Javanese, Dutch, and Chinese family. I'm currently in Yogyakarta.
Thanks to my diverse heritage, I've had the opportunity to connect with people from various backgrounds. I’ve had the joy of helping friends and acquaintances learn the Indonesian language and culture in a fun and practical way.
Now, I’d love to help you too! My goal is to make learning Indonesian quick and enjoyable for you while also sharing our culture and slang so you don’t get bored😉
In less than 2 months, you'll be able to chat with me in Indonesian.

Shiva has been very helpful in my learning journey. When I make a mistake, she always explains why it was wrong, which helps me understand the language better. She's also really good at guiding me to think for myself instead of always giving me the answers. I'm amazed at how much I can recall whenever I thought I'd forgotten something we've learnt.Kimberly

Shiva is very patient and was able to cater to my language learning needs as someone who knows some Indonesian already. I like her structured lessons and going over my homework.
