About Me




profile

I started teaching English and Portuguese almost two decades ago.

For over 10 years, I taught at several languages institutes in different countries. During this period, I witnessed students getting better jobs, passing language exams, travelling around the world, communicating with loved ones and expanding their horizons. Being able to guide students on their language learning journey is extremely rewarding to me.

Besides being an enthusiastic language teacher, I am also a Dutch language learner, a podcast listener and a traveller.

Testimonials


I have been studying English with Jama for almost a year now. At first I thought I would not like having online lessons, but now I enjoy studying online. During the lessons, I watch videos, read articles and Jama helps me improve my presentation skills. At work, I have to communicate in English, therefore I love having a private teacher to help me boost my confidence.
Jama is a brilliant and dedicated teacher. I met her as a student and we shared some courses during the last couple of years, and since then we have been working together. She is very knowledgeable and at the same time very attentive to her students, always giving them the tools they need to learn at their best and going the extra mile for every one of them. I highly recommend her.
