  BRIEF INTRODUCTION
  
  Hi there! :)
  I am Abraham. But you can call me Bram for short.
  
  Well, I live and work in a developing city namely Jember in Jawa Timur (East Java). I have been managing a private course which deals with various subjects and English as one of them.
  
  I started this volunteering program couple years ago (appx 2018). After teaching in formal school for around 5 years, now I focus on the students in my private course. I aim for the improvement of my students' ability in English by involving volunteer(s). I am eager to offer the chances for volunteers to see Indonesian culture and learn how it is to be Indonesian.
  
  Please refer to our calendar for availability.
  
  Well, read my further description below if you are interested. Looking forward to your coming!
