Hi, my name is Ina and I come from Bogor, which is located 60 km south east of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. I graduated from a Paedagogic Institute in Jakarta, majoring in German Language.

Working with VLLC as an Indonesian Tutor enables me to share things you might not know about our culture, tradition, food, phrases, and even beautiful tourist places (Not only Bali). My hobby is traveling. It is a pleasure for me to visit new places, meet new people, and learn new culture and history of those places. So come and learn Indonesian with VLLC!

My name is Beatrice and I am an Italian native speaker coming from the North of Italy. I graduated with a Master’s Degree in “Italian Literature” at the Università Statale in Milan. This degree qualifies me for the teaching profession and while in Milan I taught Italian to adult immigrants. Once in Australia I developed this career by getting involved with the main Italian organizations in Adelaide and teaching the Italian language and culture to adults at different levels. I also co-hosted a talk-back radio program at Radio Italiana 531 and took part in a project as a language assistant in different schools across Adelaide.

Guten Tag! I am Liz, I was born and raised in Bavaria, Germany, but have found my home in Melbourne in 2008.  Language means freedom, expression, independence, conversation, self-reliance and connection for me.
Language shapes how we perceive the world and how we think and act in it.  I was always fascinated by these complex structures of living languages.
Therefore I love helping students expand and refine their language knowledge here at VLLC in both English and the German language.
