Meet Restiany

Indonesian Language & Cultural Educator

-
Hi, I’m Restiany.

Since 2010, I have been guiding expatriates and international families in learning Indonesian with clarity and structure.

Over the years, I’ve worked with professionals, spouses, and global teams who needed more than vocabulary — they needed a reliable system and cultural understanding.

My teaching approach combines structured progression with real-life communication. Each lesson is designed to help you build confidence step by step — through consistency, not shortcuts.

Learning Indonesian is not only about speaking correctly. It is about understanding context, navigating professional and social environments, and communicating with awareness and respect.

This is the foundation of Indonesian With Restiany.

Our Journey Since 2010

For over 16 years, Indonesian With Restiany has supported expatriates, diplomats, and international professionals from around the world.

Here are reflections from learners across different stages of that journey.
Vytas, Lithuania (2023-2025)
“I studied Bahasa Indonesia with Restiany for nearly two years. She is consistently professional, reliable, and well prepared. Her structured yet flexible approach — supported by her own textbooks — makes learning practical and coherent. Beyond language mechanics, she clearly explains Indonesian culture and real-life communication. Her guidance helped me integrate with greater confidence and cultural awareness.”

Chris G. Ruthven, USA (2023-2024)
“Restiany was my language tutor for over a year as I prepared to relocate from the USA to Indonesia. She was highly flexible across time zones and tailored each lesson to my capability, showing great patience throughout the process. Her structured support, combined with insights into Indonesian history and culture, equipped me well for living and working in Indonesia. I confidently recommend her to anyone seeking professional and adaptable language guidance.”
Daley Lasebikan, UK (2022-2023)
The Bahasa lessons provided by bu Restiany have been so helpful with regards to getting a better understanding of the language, tradition, and culture. Learning Bahasa with bu Restiany has be very insightful and has helped to be more effective in my job not just from learning the language but much more than that.
In addition to bu Restiany teaching Bahasa I believe she can offer a lot more than just teaching Bahasa, perhaps something wrapped up with the culture etc.
Agnieszka Lubkowska, Poland (2020-2022)
“I began learning Bahasa Indonesia with Restiany before relocating, and her structured guidance prepared me well for the transition. From day one, I was able to engage in small talks with locals, which made a real difference. Beyond language instruction, she explains Indonesian culture, customs, and traditions with clarity and patience. Her practical, flexible teaching method — supported by a well-designed coursebook — makes learning effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking clear, culturally aware, and professional language guidance.”
-
Elizabeth McClean, Australia (2017-2020)
“I studied Bahasa Indonesia with Restiany for three years while living in Indonesia. Learning the language gave me the tools to communicate daily and appreciate the richness of Indonesian culture — its customs, traditions, and history. Fluent in both Indonesian and English, she understands how languages are learned and encourages her students to maximize their potential. As an experienced educator and published author, she brings insight, creativity, and professionalism to every lesson.”
-
Salih Jamaan Alzahrani, Saudi Arabia (2015-2016)
“I completed a structured Indonesian program with Restiany across different levels and have known her as my teacher for nearly two years. She is a passionate and highly motivated educator who continuously refines her courses based on constructive feedback. Her professionalism, cultural sensitivity, and respectful approach make her an excellent teacher for students from diverse backgrounds. I strongly value her commitment to both quality and student progress.”
-
Leland Jourdan (Lee), USA (2012-2015)
I found Ibu Restiany to be very knowledgeable, professional, and dependable. What made her so effective is her thorough understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the English language, and how to relate them to Bahasa Indonesia. Beyond that, she infuses her language training with a deep sharing of the Indonesian culture. Most importantly, she has a charitable and sharing heart. I highly recommend her.
-
Susie Wertanen, USA, (2011-2016)
“I have known Restiany since 2011, when she became my Bahasa Indonesia teacher for several years. She is professional, patient, and flexible in adapting her structured program to individual needs. Her lessons quickly equipped me with practical language tools for daily life, and eventually gave me the confidence to teach English locally. Even after the formal lessons ended, she remained accessible for guidance. Calm, caring, and culturally insightful, she brings both linguistic precision and deep understanding to her teaching.”
-
Manon Rubel, Canada (2011-2016)
“Restiany was my Bahasa Indonesia teacher while I lived in Jakarta. She was consistently punctual, reliable, and highly flexible — teaching in offices, homes, and small groups while accommodating demanding travel schedules. She developed her own thorough curriculum and thoughtfully incorporated student feedback while refining her coursebooks. Beyond her professionalism, she is generous and actively engaged in her community. I value her dedication and confidently recommend her as an Indonesian language educator.”
-
Kristin Leo, USA (2010-2016)
Ibu Restiany is fluent in Bahasa Indonesia and English and thoroughly experienced in teaching both languages. She understands how language is learned and knows how to encourage her students to maximize their language capabilities. She is also insightful, kind, creative in her teaching techniques, and a joy to talk to. She is also an author of published Indonesian learning books that you can buy online.
