Become a Japanese Language Tutor


Hello everyone. How are you? Great right? Hmmm… By the way it’s a non-stop rainy day. I’m not complaining because I love rainy day. There’s something romantic and gloomy about it that I love. But turn out my body is disagree with my mind. I get sick easily in this kind of weather. I hate being sick, but today I feel better than yesterday. So, I’m back to writing J


I’d like to tell you a bit of my life experience. Okay, let me.

I’m not the most superior girl in my class, not a favorite student, I also not a smart ass let alone idolized just like Dian Sastrowardoyo. ((: I’m me who understand my every own step and every chances God gave to me. It’s sounds simple, I just live my life with hope and never end to think about the future. There’s a bunch of people around me who live their youth with blissful things. How about me? I’m just too busy thinking over the future. Yes, I’m dreaming all day !

My daily life in Yogyakarta makes me understand about life experience more. At the 3rd term I encourage myself to enlist as Japanese Language Tutor. I met the qualification and passed the interview all with mixed feelings. That’s the first time I officially a tutor. After tutoring for six months at LBA (Lembaga Bahasa Asing) I decided to move for LBJ (Lembaga Bahasa Jepang). After the interview the following day I asked to start tutoring, up till now. My way of teaching is just simple. When I face kids up to senior-high-schoolers I’m going to play games. For examples the ‘snakes and ladders’ or ‘Hiragana cards’. Beside that I show them pictures associated with the day’s theme, so they won’t get bored fast. I also write on the whiteboard using colorful marker so I hope they can easily understand. :3 

This pic is my own made 'Snakes and Ladders' 

This pic is the "Hiragana Cards" I bought by Daiso. I use it especially for teaching.

LBJ led me to an awesome opportunity which is tutoring the employees of Grand Aston Hotel Yogyakarta. That’s a once in a life time opportunity and I’m really grateful for being given the opportunity. To be honest the thing that moved me to write this is that, a few days ago I met three of my students whose work at the Hotel. Furthermore, since I began tutoring have been followed by my students at twitter and befriend them at facebook. :)) Yes, we don’t have to be a superstar to make many friends from any kind of people and acquire a lot of perception.

 This pic shows some of my students from the hotel.

The another great opportunity I have got is I’m being chosen to be a tutor for INCULS (Indonesian Language and Culture Learning Service) at a Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Gadjah Mada University Yogyakarta. Here , I teach Indonesian language to the foreigners. Last time I tutored an Australian her name was Rebecca. She is a kind person at the end of tutoring term, she gave me a farewell chocolate. Thank you so much, Rebecca, because you know that I love Chocolate :) I hope we meet again…

The one challenge I faced is that I had to taught every kind of person beginning from elementary school kids to even the seniors. But I’m really sure that challenge will give some kind of good effect for my future career. >.< Hmm.. l am not into hypocrisy, so I’ll tell beside of experiences I also gained a plenty of fees. By tutoring I have bought my beloved iPad. I’m so happy :3

他方でその経験から学んだものも大きかった
(On the other hand we learned a great deal from the experience)
