Jouzu (skilled) and heta (unskilled) are na-adjectives, and the skill takes ga. Avoid calling yourself jouzu; for your own abilities, tokui is more natural. Both follow the same pattern as suki and kirai.
Examples
-
Tanaka san wa ryouri ga jouzu desu.
Tanaka is good at cooking.
-
Watashi wa uta ga heta desu.
I am bad at singing.
