Zama is great, I had no idea how to write a cover letter and she has given me all the keys I need to write it. She has also been helping me planning the interview. Very nice and professional. I’ll definitely book more classes with her, thank you very much Zama!! 😊😊

It was my first lesson in Italki and I was a bit nervous but Zama is an amazing teacher. She makes me feel very comfortable and I really enjoyed the lesson. I would recommend her to everyone. She has a very good and positive energy.
