"I met Ibu Minarni while studying at the Victorian School of Languages. She was my language teacher for 2 years as I went through VCE Indonesian SL. As a student who entered VCE studies a year early, Ibu Minarni ensured that I was able to follow the academic rigor of the curriculum, and went out of her way to support me whenever I required additional assistance. With her continued support, I achieved a perfect score in the subject, followed by a Premier’s Award. To me, Ibu’s teaching extended beyond the curriculum, allowing her students to have a strong understanding of the Indonesian culture and people. I believe this knowledge cannot be taught from a textbook, and ultimately, is more valuable than just learning the language itself. Overall, Ibu Minarni is an outstanding teacher in the subject of Bahasa Indonesia, and any student would be lucky to have her as a teacher/tutor."
