Hello! My name is Widya Al Karimah, and I’m a final-year undergraduate student at Sebelas Maret University, majoring in Sociology and Anthropology Education. I am deeply passionate about research, education, and the humanities, and have had the privilege of applying these interests in real-world settings.
As part of my journey, I completed the SEA Teacher Batch 10 program at NEUST San Isidro in the Philippines, where I enhanced my teaching skills through global practices. This experience not only improved my English proficiency but also allowed me to develop and implement lesson plans, strategies, and evaluations.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have worked as a freelance tutor for International Curriculum Elementary School and conducted research for Sinta 5 and Sinta 3 on the thematic analysis and strategy of the P5 program in Surakarta. These opportunities have broadened my skills in research and education, preparing me to contribute meaningfully in any future educational setting
