Meet Becs & Jamille
Two educators. One shared belief — that no child should feel left behind.
Becs is a specialist educational therapist with years of experience supporting children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and language processing differences. She works one-to-one with children across Lisbon and internationally, and is the creative mind behind Medela's digital learning resources.
Jamille co-founded Medela and leads the Aldeia community — bringing together parents, specialists, and educators in Portugal. Her background spans education, community building, and parent advocacy, and she brings warmth and practical wisdom to everything Medela does.
The values that guide everything we do
Medela isn't just a tutoring service. It's built on a set of beliefs about how children learn, and how families should be supported.
Every child can grow
We've never met a child who can't make progress. The question is always how — not whether. Every child has a learning profile; our job is to understand it.
Learning is personal
There's no one-size approach here. What works for one child might not work for another. Every programme at Medela is built specifically around the individual learner.
Confidence comes first
Many of the children we work with have been told — in some way — that they're not clever. Our first job is always rebuilding that relationship with themselves.
Parents are partners
We keep parents closely involved. You know your child better than anyone. Our job is to bring the expertise — your job is to bring the context.
Evidence drives everything
Becs' methods are grounded in educational therapy research. We don't follow trends — we follow what the evidence says actually works for children with learning differences.
Community matters
Navigating a learning difference can feel isolating. That's why Aldeia exists — because parents shouldn't have to figure this out alone.
A methodology built around the child
Medela's four-step process ensures every child gets a programme that's right for them — and that families always know what's happening and why.
Initial conversation
We start with a free 20-minute call to understand your child's challenges, your concerns, and whether Medela is the right fit. No pressure, no commitment.
Learning profile assessment
Becs conducts a careful assessment to build a clear picture of your child's strengths and challenges before a programme begins.
Personalised programme
Sessions are planned around your child specifically. Each session builds on the last, always working towards clearly defined goals that you're involved in setting.
Progress & adaptation
Regular check-ins, progress reports for parents and schools, and an ongoing willingness to adapt as your child grows in confidence and ability.
