Hello! How are you? I am a Spanish speaker from Venezuela, but I have been living in the beautiful city of Santa Marta, Colombia, for a few years. I am a teacher by vocation and profession, with over 9 years of experience in education and approximately 6 years teaching Spanish online. I have also worked as an occupational therapist here in Colombia.
My favorite hobbies include studying and learning various skills, learning more about God, spending time with my family, shopping, and visiting new places. My dream is to travel the world, and I have had the opportunity to visit the capitals of Ecuador, Trinidad, and Curaçao.
Me as a Teacher
I bring the advantage of real classroom experience, using innovative strategies to help you quickly consolidate the grammar you learn. I am patient, a good listener, and create a warm, friendly environment where consistent correction helps students improve their speaking skills after every lesson. My classes are relaxed and comfortable, so you can gain confidence as you learn.
All of my lessons are conducted entirely in Spanish, providing full immersion and helping you start thinking in the language from day one.
My lessons & teaching style
Speak Spanish with confidence from your very first class. Turn conversation into your best tool for learning Spanish. Learn Spanish by speaking, not memorizing. More conversation, more fluency, more confidence.
Improve your Spanish for work through real conversation. Speak Spanish confidently in meetings and professional situations. Do you understand Spanish but struggle to speak it fluently? I can help. Lose your fear of speaking and gain fluency in Spanish. ¡Book a class and let’s get started!

Profe Eli takes her time to explain you everything in a calm and pleasant manner, making learning an enjoyable experience.
We also talked about the political and economic situation in Venezuela and Columbia, which is very interesting for me, coming from Austria, a completely different country.
I am looking forward to my next class with Eli!
