Before turning into an Indonesian language trainer, Franciska was a Coach and Mentor in a trading company for several years. She grew up in Aceh (Sumatra) and underwent her higher education in Bandung (Java). Being exposed to so many different cultures in Indonesia, she aspires to share her experience with her students.
Patient and a good motivator, she believes that intuition and empathy are two important traits of a good teacher. She gets the most satisfaction when students overcome learning challenges and eventually make progress.
With strong experience in hospitality industry and event management, her personal interest includes participating in world’s events in Singapore such as SEA Games, ASEAN Para Games, FINA Swimming World Cup, World Rugby Seven Series, Singapore Grand Prix, and many more.
“I believe that in order to learn Indonesian effectively, one must put efforts in using the language daily.”
