English Speaking Partner

• Di awal kuartal 4 tahun 2022, saya mulai belajar public speaking dan conversation dengan Mas Surya, dan masih berlangsung hingga sekarang.
  
  Dalam proses belajar mengajar, Mas Surya sangat membantu dan menjelaskan dengan sangat mudah. Beliau menghargai perbedaan pendapat ketika berdiskusi dan mempunya tingkat kesabaran di atas rata-rata.
  
  Saya sangat senang dan merekomendasikan Mas Surya terutama bagi para pekerja kantoran yang sibuk berkejaran di antara deadline dan meeting yang mendadak.

• When I first started practicing English with Mas Surya, I was super nervous and barely able to speak. My main goal was to prepare for an English job interview, and honestly, I didn’t feel confident at all.
  
  But after a few sessions, everything changed. Mas Surya was super patient and really knew how to make the conversation flow naturally. He didn’t just teach me how to answer interview questions — he helped me feel comfortable speaking English.
  
  And guess what? I passed the interview and got the job!
  
  What I love about learning with Mas Surya is that it never feels like a boring class. We talk about so many things — movies, daily life, random topics — and somehow, every session makes me learn something new. It’s more like talking to a friend than a formal lesson.
  
  If you’re looking for someone easy to talk to, supportive, and who can help you level up your speaking skills (without pressure!), I highly recommend Mas Surya. Worth it!

• I found Kak Surya on the Superprof platform. I was looking for an English speaking partner for self-improvement related to my work at a fintech start-up in Jakarta.
  
  I had a target of 5 hours for these sessions in total, with each meeting limited to 30 minutes. We agreed in advance on 10 topics to discuss in each session, ranging from work-related subjects to more general and current issues. So we talked about fintech, hometown, transportation, music, healthy lifestyles, and the use of AI in daily life.
  
  Kak Surya managed to create a comfortable atmosphere where I could share ideas despite my limited vocabulary and grammar. He is also very friendly, making our conversations enjoyable and easy-going.
  
  For anyone looking for a teacher who can also be a speaking partner, I highly recommend him.

• I met Mas Surya for English speaking practice as part of a program at my office.
  
  We simulated presentations and client interviews, based on my work as a researcher at a market research company.
  
  In addition, we also had casual discussions about my background, sports, food, and hobbies.
  
  I found the sessions with Mas Surya enjoyable — I was able to learn new vocabulary, grammar, and various speaking hacks. Mas Surya knows the right teaching methods and can improvise during the sessions. For example, even when we were supposed to follow specific materials or guidelines, he could easily switch to other topics to better train my English speaking ability.
  
  For anyone looking for a speaking partner, I highly recommend practicing with Mas Surya.

I help professionals speak English confidently and fluently—without the textbook approach.

For 3 years, I’ve worked with individuals in mining, construction, energy, education, and others—from staff to top-level managers. In summary:

Here’s a short clip of my session with one of my students:

Practicing your English speaking skills with me is useful in the following situations:

• You live, work, travel, or study abroad
• You work in a multinational company
• Presentation preparation
• Job interview preparation
• Attending networking events
• Self-improvement
• You just want to talk to someone

I gained speaking fluency and confidence by living in England, traveling solo, and having real conversations with real people. I also have a 7.5 IELTS score. My experience as a Big 4 auditor and business analyst strengthened my skills in active listening, curiosity, and clearly structuring ideas in both speech and writing. These roles also broadened my industry knowledge, enriching my discussions with clients. Currently, I’m pursuing TESOL certification.

You see, good conversations come not only from good storytelling, but also good questioning. That’s what I bring to my clients—deep listening, thoughtful questioning, and structured communication to articulate their ideas for impactful connections.
