Lawyers, Medical Professionals, DELE, Business, SIELE, Pronunciation, LISTENING, conversation, CULTURE. I was born in Colombia but I have lived many years in Europe, United States and South America. I’m also a citizen of Spain. My best experiences abroad involved meeting great people, finding interesting places and seeing the cultural mix in the world. My profession encompasses my favorite things: I’m a journalist and a Spanish teacher. My philosophy is: “Let’s go to work (together) side by side to achieve your language goals and reach fluency”. Let me give you support, accompaniment and motivation to walk this road. My students say that I’m very patient, organized, encouraging, funny and easy to talk to. I always try to focus on my students' language weaknesses, needs and preferences. The atmosphere in my lessons is relaxed and professional. You’ll gain confidence from our lessons, which will allow you to communicate. I have accumulated over 10,000 hours teaching Spanish (ELE) in many environments. I have worked one-on-one in private lessons, with groups at a university and online with various language-learning platforms. My lessons involve the crucial areas of language learning: speaking, listening, writing, reading, ...

A very productive DELE prep class. We went over a section of the exam as well as tips for success on the exam day (this Saturday). Elena has been so motivating and helpful. I highly highly recommend her. <3

I asked Elen to help me with medical vocabulary and she came prepared with interesting and varied materials to help me. This was exactly what I was looking for and even from the first lesson I have already learned useful vocab. Thank you!

Elena was able to quickly access my level and come up with a lesson plan for my to score higher on an OPI test. I never felt nervous or subconsious because she gave me the right push when I needed it, and slowed down or translated when she saw I definitly did not understand. After these lessons, and putting in the work, I'm confident I about my exam

Excellent medical Spanish lesson with Elena - I appreciate that she comes with materials to cover and will dive into grammar/vocab as needed. She does a great job balancing guidance/feedback and time for practice!

I really feel like my Spanish is advancing with Elena. I appreciate how she takes as much time as I need to explain a subject. It's not just glossed over so we can finish with what we're doing. She provides as many examples as I need until I'm confident that I understand. I really enjoy and appreciate her style of teaching.
