I am Elma Janeth, a native Spanish speaker from Colombia—a country full of life, color, and culture, just like my classes! I have been teaching Spanish and English my whole life. I have taught students of all ages. I am a certified English teacher with a Master’s in Translation, and I specialize in helping learners truly connect with the language—not just memorize it. Teaching is more than a job to me—it’s my passion and purpose. I'm known for being creative, patient, and full of positive energy. I love designing fun, personalized lessons that make you feel confident and excited to learn. Outside the classroom, I'm into reading, dancing, traveling, and practicing sports.

I have completed multiple classes with Elma over the past year. My ability to understand and communicate in Spanish has improved significantly. I attribute this improvement to Elma’s teaching style, mentorship, and guidance. Her ability to put you at ease and allow you to truly enjoy the learning process is unparalleled. If you are interested in learning from a patient, caring, and outstanding teacher, I recommend taking classes with Elma. You will learn a lot, your Spanish will improve, and you will thoroughly enjoy the time spent in her class.

Elma has been an incredible teacher and she makes me feel very comfortable even in my mistakes while having our lessons. She shares so much cultural knowledge and is very personable in the assignments she gives. Would highly recommend!

Elma is an outstanding teacher. I've tried multiple different techniques to improve my language abilities. My lessons with Elma have truly made a difference in my language journey. Her classes are far more than "say this" and "say that". It feels like an immersion class focused on language, culture, and history. I highly recommend taking classes with Elma.

Profesora Elma is a great teacher! She is teaching me so much about Colombian cultures and I am so much more excited about my trip to Medellin! Our classes are informal though never unorganized and she challenges me, often asking me comprehension questions along throughout the lesson. I’ve only taken 2 classes with Profe but I am already seeing how much better I will be able to get at speaking and listening(:
