Hola! I'm Eliana, a Visual Arts student from Colombian who's passionate and creative. I studied English in the US for a year, and Japanese for two years in Japan. I love going on long walks, especially in nature. I enjoy visiting museums and watching art for hours and hours, but there's nothing I enjoy more than being with my pets, or as many of us in Latin America like to call them, "mis perrijos" (perros/dogs + hijos/children). I love drawing and illustrating, comedy, movies, music and spending time with my family.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I base my teaching on the needs of each student, trying to always make them feel comfortable so that we can make mistakes together and learn from them. I focus on my students strengths so we can grow and overcome our weaknesses. I always try to be funny, patient and understanding so that our classes can flow easily and learning can be fun and enriching.
My lessons & teaching style
I try to teach useful and practical lessons where my students can go into real life scenarios and use the things we learned in class. I also like to give students a space where they feel free and comfortable to ask and practice whatever they want to strengthen or simply have a lot of curiosity about. My classes are based on listening and speaking skills using music, movies and everyday conversations, always trying to keep it fun.

Teacher’s pick
At the beginning it's normal to have doubts about which teacher choosing for your classes. You don't know what you'll find on the other side of the screen, if there will be a good connection between the two of you, if he/she will be able to solve your doubts or if he/she will be calm enough to understand your weak points in the language you want to learn or improve and help you with it. If you are in this process, don't hesitate any longer. Eliana is the ideal teacher for you. In her you will find the connection you need from the very first class. She's so empathetic and dynamic that she'll make the classes enjoyable and fun from the first minute. She also cares about your evolution and your needs. In short, if you have any doubts when it comes to choosing your teacher, Eliana is your safe bet!
