How is this different from a BIPA course?

This program teaches Indonesian as a school and university subject to learners who already use the language every day. It covers reading comprehension, text types, affixes and EYD V spelling. BIPA is for speakers of other languages who are just starting Indonesian, and EduPoint runs it as a separate program.

The student already speaks Indonesian fluently. Why is the grade stuck?

School grades in Indonesian come from the standard written register and from understanding long texts, two things conversation rarely trains. For context, the national average for Indonesian in the 2025 senior high TKA was 55.38, as published by Indonesia's education ministry. Writing practice checked sentence by sentence is usually what helps most.

Do you prepare students for the TKA Indonesian test?

Yes. Indonesian is one of the subjects in the Academic Ability Test, which rests on Ministerial Regulation No. 9 of 2025, and it is compulsory at senior high level. Lessons use long timed readings and walk through the reasoning behind each answer. Note that, according to the Ministry, TKA results do not decide graduation, so the lesson target is agreed together at the outset.

Can university students join for a paper or the compulsory course?

Yes. Under Law No. 12 of 2012, Indonesian is a compulsory course at every Indonesian university. For university students, lessons cover academic register, paraphrasing, citation and paper structure, built around the student's own coursework, with schedules that can run into the evening.

How does the tutor check writing in an online lesson?

The student prepares the draft, either in an online document or as a photo of handwritten pages sent before the lesson. The tutor opens it on a shared screen, flags the sentences that need work and explains the rule, and the student writes the fix. First drafts and revisions are kept for the progress report.

Which video app do lessons use?

EduPoint keeps modules, recordings of every lesson, self-study exercises and progress reports in app.edupoint.id, its app for learners. For the video call itself EduPoint has no app of its own; tutor and learner pick the platform together, usually Zoom or Google Meet.

How much does online Indonesian tutoring cost?

These Indonesian lessons start from Rp 48.000 per hour when 28 sessions are booked in a month, and the same rate covers primary school through university. Taking one paragraph apart fits in 60 minutes, while a full argumentative essay sits better in a 90 or 120-minute session. Fewer meetings in a month push the rate up a little, so the final figure shows on the registration form once a plan is picked.

Which payment options can I use?

A plan can be settled in one payment upfront or in two equal instalments, with the second falling due halfway through the plan. The smallest plan is 4 sessions a month. Every payment method is accepted: bank transfer, Virtual Account, QRIS, e-wallets, cards, and Alfamart or Indomaret counters.

How does enrolment work, and can the student switch tutors?

It starts with a free consultation, then the student's schedule and needs are recorded, the EduPoint team finds a suitable tutor, and lessons begin. If a few meetings in the essay feedback still feels off, the student can switch to another tutor free of charge. Learning targets carry on from the notes already made.

Indonesian is the language students use all day, which is exactly why their grade in it tends to sit still. Report cards measure skills that conversation rarely trains: following a long text, building an orderly expository or argumentative piece, choosing the right affix, and spelling to the EYD fifth edition. In these private online lessons the tutor opens the student's draft on a shared screen, marks the shaky sentences, and the student fixes them on the spot.

Online Indonesian Tutoring for School and University: Your Draft, Checked Sentence by Sentence

Program Glossary

What isOnline Indonesian tutoring: Online Indonesian tutoring at EduPoint trains the two skills that most often hold school grades back: understanding long texts and writing the text types teachers grade. One tutor works live with one learner, from primary to university. Rates begin at Rp 48.000 an hour for the 28-session monthly plan, in 60, 90 or 120-minute sessions on Google Meet or Zoom.
Key Points: The target is what report cards actually grade: writing, reading together with viewing, listening, and speaking in front of a class while presenting an idea. Those four strands sit in the latest Indonesian learning outcomes, set by BSKAP Head Decree No. 046/H/KR/2025.
One tutor works with one student. The tutor opens the student's own draft on a shared screen, flags the sentences that need work, and the student revises them during the session, so each correction turns into a writing habit.
Spelling, capitals and punctuation are checked against the EYD fifth edition, the spelling standard the Language Agency issued on 16 August 2022 to replace PUEBI.
More than 1,000 active EduPoint modules, affix drills and main-idea practice among them, can be reopened from app.edupoint.id between lessons.
This program is designed for learners who already speak Indonesian every day. Speakers of other languages who are starting Indonesian from scratch have their own route through the BIPA program.

Pick the length from the size of the task. Taking apart one paragraph fits into an hour, while building an argumentative text from outline to final draft needs more room. Monthly bookings for these writing lessons range between 4 and 28 meetings.

Program Levels

Online Indonesian Tutoring by School Level

The national curriculum groups Indonesian into phases: Phase A covers the first two years of primary school, Phase B the next two, Phase C the final two, Phase D the whole of junior high, Phase E grade 10, and Phase F the last two years of senior high. Tutors match the material to the student's phase and to whatever the school has just assigned.

Phases A to C, grades 1-6

Primary (SD)

In primary school the foundation is reading with understanding. Plenty of children can sound out every word yet struggle to retell a story in their own sentences. Lessons at this level build that habit with short texts that slowly grow longer, plus practice writing a few connected sentences. Parents receive a progress summary so they know what to support at home.

Subjects:

Reading comprehensionRetelling what was readShort compositionsBasic vocabulary and affixes

Focus Areas:

Spotting the key information in a text
Complete sentences with correct capitals and full stops
Confidence in reading one's own writing aloud

Phase D, grades 7-9

Junior High (SMP)

Junior high is where the number of text types grows and writing tasks start being graded on structure. Students who always coasted in Indonesian are often surprised when their marks dip. Lessons here use the student's own school tasks as the main material: the text type covered in class gets unpacked, then the draft is checked paragraph by paragraph.

Subjects:

Structure and features of text typesMain ideas and topic sentencesThe me(N)- and pe(N)-an affixesClear, effective sentences

Focus Areas:

Telling spoken style from standard written style
Building cohesive paragraphs
Proofreading before handing work in

Phases E and F, grades 10-12

Senior High (SMA)

Readings get longer in senior high, writing becomes more argumentative, and grade 12 meets the Academic Ability Test (TKA), where Indonesian is a compulsory subject. Lessons split their time between timed practice on long texts and writing pieces whose arguments run in order and rest on evidence.

Subjects:

Critical reading of long textsArgumentative and expository writingTKA-style reading practicePresentations and discussion

Focus Areas:

Reading faster while keeping hold of the main idea
Arguments backed by data and examples
Revising drafts until they are ready to be graded

Compulsory course and academic writing

University

Indonesian is a compulsory course in higher education under Law No. 12 of 2012, Article 35(3). Lessons for university students target the jobs that eat the most time: structuring papers, writing summaries and paraphrases, tightening academic sentences, and preparing class presentations.

Subjects:

Academic registerParaphrasing and citationWriting papers and reportsAcademic presentations

Focus Areas:

Concise, clear academic sentences
Paragraphs that keep a steady line of thought
Spelling and terms that follow EYD V and the KBBI dictionary

Program Syllabus

What Online Indonesian Lessons Cover: Seven Core Modules

The order follows the student. Learners who are stuck on reading comprehension usually begin with the first module, while university students often go straight to the writing module.

EduPoint writes its own versions of these modules and hosts them in the learner app. Sample texts and questions are original, with nothing copied from other publishers.

Module 01

Reading long texts: topic sentences and main ideas

Students learn to find the topic sentence at the start, the end, or both ends of a paragraph, and to infer the unstated main idea in descriptive and narrative paragraphs. Practice begins with a single paragraph and moves up to texts several pages long.

Topics Covered

Deductive, inductive and mixed paragraphs
Implied main ideas
Summarising a text in one's own words
Separating the main point from supporting detail

Who It Is For

Learners Who Get the Most from Online Indonesian Tutoring

Most learners who join already speak Indonesian fluently. What they want is a way to turn that fluency into full understanding of long texts and writing that meets the marking criteria.

Primary pupils who read aloud well but struggle to retell

The child reads smoothly, yet answers about the story come out short or off target. Lessons at this level use illustrated readers and short stories, and a parent is welcome to sit in on the first few sessions to pick up how to help at home.

Recommended:

60-minute sessions2 to 3 times a weekReading comprehension module

Junior and senior high students whose writing grade has stalled

Multiple-choice tests go fine, but every writing task comes back with the same comments. For this group the student's own school draft is the lesson material, so every revision pays off in the next assignment.

Recommended:

90-minute sessionsWriting and effective sentence modulesMonthly progress report

Grade 6, 9 and 12 students preparing for the TKA

The Academic Ability Test includes Indonesian as a compulsory subject at senior high level. Most of the questions sit on long readings, so the most useful practice is timed reading followed by a close look at the reasoning behind each answer.

Recommended:

120-minute sessions near the testTKA-style reading moduleMain idea and inference module

University students facing the compulsory course or a paper

A first university paper often feels heavy because academic register differs from high school writing. Lessons cover academic sentences, paraphrasing, citation and paper structure, scheduled around classes, evenings included.

Recommended:

90- or 120-minute sessionsWriting module, academic trackEvening slots

Progress Report

Progress Reports in Online Indonesian Tutoring

Writing progress is hard to read from a single test score. Tutors therefore log progress per language skill, from main ideas to spelling, and the notes are kept in the learner app. For primary and junior high students, parents receive the summary too.

Our Report Features

Notes per language skill
The tutor keeps separate notes on four areas: reading comprehension, word formation, paragraph cohesion and spelling. That makes it easy to see which areas are already strong and which need another round.
Drafts before and after revision
The first draft and the revised version sit side by side. Students can see the sentences that were flagged and how they fixed them.
Lesson recordings in the app
Every lesson is recorded, and students can watch the recording again in the EduPoint app whenever a rule has slipped their mind.
A clear next target
Each report ends with one concrete goal for the next few sessions, such as writing three argumentative paragraphs with no off-topic sentences.

Sample Report

Tutor's Note: Tutor rubric score (sample). Finds the topic sentence reliably in deductive paragraphs; inductive paragraphs are still often read as detail.

A Peek at the Material

Inside an Online Indonesian Lesson: Affixes and Main Ideas

These two topics come up early because they cause the most common errors in school assignments: building words with affixes and finding the main idea of a paragraph.

pe(N)-baca-anpembacaan

Exercise: find the main idea (text in Indonesian)

Setiap pagi Raka membaca berita singkat di ponselnya. Di kelas, ia cepat menjawab pertanyaan lisan dari guru. Namun, ketika diminta merangkum artikel dua halaman, rangkumannya selalu dipenuhi hal-hal kecil dan gagasan utamanya terlewat. Kebiasaan membaca teks pendek setiap hari ternyata belum melatih kemampuan menangkap gagasan utama bacaan yang panjang.

Question: Where is the topic sentence of this paragraph, and what is its main idea?

Common issue we encounter

Root cause

Many primary and junior high Indonesian tasks are still handwritten. A page held up to the camera tends to blur, get cut off or wobble, which slows a sentence-by-sentence check to a crawl.

EduPoint solution

The student photographs the assignment in good light and sends it before the lesson starts. The tutor opens it large on the shared screen, so each mark lands on exactly the right sentence.

Tutors use these patterns as a starting point for observation in the first lesson. Each student's plan is still built from their own assignments and work.

Reasons to Choose Us

Why Choose Private Online Indonesian Lessons with EduPoint

This comparison is about how the learning happens. Recorded video classes and crowded online cram classes serve general material well, while writing and long-text comprehension need someone who reads the student's own work.

A tutor reads the student's writing at every lesson
A recorded video cannot check the paragraph a student wrote last night. Here, every lesson includes a review of the student's own writing or reading answers, so the feedback is always about mistakes they actually made.
The pace follows the learner
A student who needs three rounds on one affix gets three rounds. A student who has it can move straight on to longer texts. Large classes struggle to give that kind of room.
Tutors from language programs
Many of EduPoint's Indonesian tutors studied Indonesian Language and Literature or Indonesian Language Education. The team finds a tutor to fit the student's level and needs, drawing on more than 3,500 tutors active online.

A learning trail you can revisit
Modules, recordings, revision notes and progress reports are kept in the app. Nobody has to rely on memory for a rule explained two weeks ago.
Free tutor change and a deposit guarantee
The deposit is covered by a 30-day guarantee, and a learner whose essays are not moving with the current tutor can switch to another one free of charge. Learning targets are agreed in the first session and tracked through regular reports, with no promise of a specific grade.

What They Say

What Learners Say About Online Indonesian Tutoring

Names are shortened under EduPoint's privacy policy. The reviews describe the learning process, and every student's results differ.

“My text assignments always came back marked 'not well organised' and I never knew what that meant. In the lessons the tutor highlighted the sentence where my paragraph jumped, and I rewrote it right then. Now I reread my work with that same question before handing it in.”

R. A.

Grade 11 student

Balikpapan

Now checks paragraph flow on their own

“My child reads aloud fluently, but asked about the story she would answer in one word. The tutor patiently broke the story into parts and asked her to retell each one. I sat in on the first two sessions, so at home I know what to ask.”

Mother of a grade 3 pupil

Parent of a primary pupil

Child now retells readings in her own sentences

“I signed up for help with a paper for the compulsory course. It turned out my problem was paraphrasing, staying far too close to the source sentences. The tutor had me rewrite paragraph after paragraph until I got the hang of it. Evening slots helped a lot because I have classes during the day.”

D. P.

Second-semester university student

More confident with paraphrase and citation

“TKA preparation helped most with the long readings. Every lesson had one timed text, and the discussion focused on why each answer was right. I rewatch those recordings when I meet a similar question.”

How Online Indonesian Tutors Check a Student's Writing

The student's own draft on a shared screen

The main material is the student's own writing: homework, a set text, or a university paper. If the student writes in an online document, the tutor adds highlights and comments right there. If the task is handwritten, the student photographs the page before the lesson so it can be opened together and read clearly.

Flagged line by line, fixed by the student

The tutor flags the weak sentences and explains the rule, then the student types the correction. This order is deliberate, because a mistake you fix yourself is far easier to remember than one somebody else fixed for you.

Long readings taken apart paragraph by paragraph

For reading practice the text is split into paragraphs. The student names the topic sentence and main idea, the tutor asks why, and together they write a one-sentence summary of each paragraph before tackling the questions.

Modules, recordings and practice in the app

The lesson recording, that day's module and follow-up exercises can be reopened from app.edupoint.id as soon as the session ends. A student who forgets a rule can replay that part of the explanation without waiting for the next lesson.

Every lesson is recorded, and students can watch the recording again in the EduPoint app whenever a rule has slipped their mind.
A clear next target
Each report ends with one concrete goal for the next few sessions, such as writing three argumentative paragraphs with no off-topic sentences.

Sample Report

Tutor's Note: Tutor rubric score (sample). Finds the topic sentence reliably in deductive paragraphs; inductive paragraphs are still often read as detail.

A Peek at the Material

Inside an Online Indonesian Lesson: Affixes and Main Ideas

These two topics come up early because they cause the most common errors in school assignments: building words with affixes and finding the main idea of a paragraph.

Exercise: find the main idea (text in Indonesian)

Question: Where is the topic sentence of this paragraph, and what is its main idea?

Common issue we encounter

Root cause

In front of a screen it is easy to just listen, turn the camera off or open another tab. A lesson filled with long explanations from the tutor lets the time pass without real practice.

EduPoint solution

The student keeps hold of the keyboard. Every few minutes brings a small task: rewrite one sentence, mark a topic sentence, answer one reading question. The tutor responds to each answer immediately.

Challenge

Handwriting that the camera cannot read

Common issue we encounter

Root cause

Many primary and junior high Indonesian tasks are still handwritten. A page held up to the camera tends to blur, get cut off or wobble, which slows a sentence-by-sentence check to a crawl.

EduPoint solution

The student photographs the assignment in good light and sends it before the lesson starts. The tutor opens it large on the shared screen, so each mark lands on exactly the right sentence.

Tutors use these patterns as a starting point for observation in the first lesson. Each student's plan is still built from their own assignments and work.

Reasons to Choose Us

Why Choose Private Online Indonesian Lessons with EduPoint

A tutor reads the student's writing at every lesson
A recorded video cannot check the paragraph a student wrote last night. Here, every lesson includes a review of the student's own writing or reading answers, so the feedback is always about mistakes they actually made.
The pace follows the learner
A student who needs three rounds on one affix gets three rounds. A student who has it can move straight on to longer texts. Large classes struggle to give that kind of room.
Tutors from language programs
Many of EduPoint's Indonesian tutors studied Indonesian Language and Literature or Indonesian Language Education. The team finds a tutor to fit the student's level and needs, drawing on more than 3,500 tutors active online.

A learning trail you can revisit
Modules, recordings, revision notes and progress reports are kept in the app. Nobody has to rely on memory for a rule explained two weeks ago.
Free tutor change and a deposit guarantee
The deposit is covered by a 30-day guarantee, and a learner whose essays are not moving with the current tutor can switch to another one free of charge. Learning targets are agreed in the first session and tracked through regular reports, with no promise of a specific grade.

“My text assignments always came back marked 'not well organised' and I never knew what that meant. In the lessons the tutor highlighted the sentence where my paragraph jumped, and I rewrote it right then. Now I reread my work with that same question before handing it in.”

FAQ

Questions About Online Indonesian Tutoring

Questions about report grades, essay drafts, scheduling and fees for private online Indonesian lessons, answered briefly.

How is this different from a BIPA course?: This program teaches Indonesian as a school and university subject to learners who already use the language every day. It covers reading comprehension, text types, affixes and EYD V spelling. BIPA is for speakers of other languages who are just starting Indonesian, and EduPoint runs it as a separate program.
Do you prepare students for the TKA Indonesian test?: Yes. Indonesian is one of the subjects in the Academic Ability Test, which rests on Ministerial Regulation No. 9 of 2025, and it is compulsory at senior high level. Lessons use long timed readings and walk through the reasoning behind each answer. Note that, according to the Ministry, TKA results do not decide graduation, so the lesson target is agreed together at the outset.
How does the tutor check writing in an online lesson?: The student prepares the draft, either in an online document or as a photo of handwritten pages sent before the lesson. The tutor opens it on a shared screen, flags the sentences that need work and explains the rule, and the student writes the fix. First drafts and revisions are kept for the progress report.
How much does online Indonesian tutoring cost?: These Indonesian lessons start from Rp 48.000 per hour when 28 sessions are booked in a month, and the same rate covers primary school through university. Taking one paragraph apart fits in 60 minutes, while a full argumentative essay sits better in a 90 or 120-minute session. Fewer meetings in a month push the rate up a little, so the final figure shows on the registration form once a plan is picked.
How does enrolment work, and can the student switch tutors?: It starts with a free consultation, then the student's schedule and needs are recorded, the EduPoint team finds a suitable tutor, and lessons begin. If a few meetings in the essay feedback still feels off, the student can switch to another tutor free of charge. Learning targets carry on from the notes already made.

The student already speaks Indonesian fluently. Why is the grade stuck?: School grades in Indonesian come from the standard written register and from understanding long texts, two things conversation rarely trains. For context, the national average for Indonesian in the 2025 senior high TKA was 55.38, as published by Indonesia's education ministry. Writing practice checked sentence by sentence is usually what helps most.
Can university students join for a paper or the compulsory course?: Yes. Under Law No. 12 of 2012, Indonesian is a compulsory course at every Indonesian university. For university students, lessons cover academic register, paraphrasing, citation and paper structure, built around the student's own coursework, with schedules that can run into the evening.
Which video app do lessons use?: EduPoint keeps modules, recordings of every lesson, self-study exercises and progress reports in app.edupoint.id, its app for learners. For the video call itself EduPoint has no app of its own; tutor and learner pick the platform together, usually Zoom or Google Meet.
Which payment options can I use?: A plan can be settled in one payment upfront or in two equal instalments, with the second falling due halfway through the plan. The smallest plan is 4 sessions a month. Every payment method is accepted: bank transfer, Virtual Account, QRIS, e-wallets, cards, and Alfamart or Indomaret counters.
