Hello! My name is Eliana and Spanish is my first language. I am a native Spanish speaker and I grew up in Colombia. I love music, film, food, and spend time with my family. I believe teaching is a really wonderful way to connect with other people and I am passionate about helping others learn.

I am an organized and experienced teacher, my classes are previously planned for each student and they can practice Spanish skills focused 100% on the conversational, I DON'T LIKE IMPROVISING, I worked for 3 years in a important language institute in Texas with students foreigners and 3+ year as a online Spanish teacher, so I know the dynamics and the correct way to teach a language.

I have been teaching Spanish professionally for over 4 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from Atlantico University in Colombia. I have experience teaching Spanish in the United States. I take pride in my work and I genuinely love seeing my students have breakthroughs with the language. As a second language learner myself (I am currently studying English) I understand the challenges but also the joy and satisfaction of learning a new language.

I believe in a focus on conversation in our lessons. We can study grammar, but I want us to achieve fluency through speaking. You're not paying money for time with a native speaker just to be given worksheets and grammar drills. We can practice all skills.

I value your time and will strive to personalize each lesson based on your needs.

See you soon. Ely

Great tutor!

I love my Spanish classes with Eliana! I would consider myself an intermediate Spanish learner and for the first 20min we just talk, then we work on grammar/exercises. I like Eliana's personality, she is fun, very polite and of course a native speaker which helps a lot. Her lessons are never boring- we do readings, songs, games etc. I highly recommend her!

Excellent Spanish Tutor

I recently spent a couple weeks searching the internet for an online Spanish tutor to help me improve my Spanish conversational skills. I had studied Spanish in school and online over the years and yet still could barely understand a word of Spanish spoken to me. After looking at many profiles and reviews, I selected Eliana as someone who seemed to meet my requirements. After just two sessions, Ely has far exceeded my expectations. She is very engaged with me in our sessions and offers just the right amount of patience and support to make me feel that she is totally with me. She is very knowledgeable and organized in her sessions. She is very animated and fun to be with. She has inspired me to work on my Spanish conversational skills throughout the week by watching Spanish TV and movies. If you’re looking for an online Spanish tutor, save yourself some time, and simply choose Eliana as your instructor. She is truly an amazing Spanish tutor!

Well prepared

I can tell that Ely spent a lot of time preparing for my lessons, and I learned a lot from them, and I'm still learning. Right now, she's teaching me how to use the different conjugations of the word, haber. I'm so glad I found her!

Gina, 43 lessons with Eliana

Experienced, Friendly, Fun!

I look forward to meeting with and learning from Ely every week! She’s creative with lesson plans and makes room for conversation when it fits the learning regimen. She cares about our growth, and teaches the language and culture, which makes her the best Spanish teacher here on Wyzant. I highly recommend Ely M!

Engaging and pleasant

Eliana is a very encouraging tutor. Her friendly approach makes it easier for me to speak in Spanish, even when I'm not feeling confident. I would recommend her for anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills.

Sarah, 1 lesson with Eliana

Amazing!

I have learned so much with Eliana. I have been able to apply what I’ve learned in my every day life too. I love our causal talks in Spanish which help me even more to absorb the language. She is very nice and we always have a good laugh. I am very pleased. ☺️

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

I recently completed my first lesson with Eliana, which went much better than expected! She is very energetic and conversational, which makes the class very interesting and easier to retain information. I am definitely looking forward to more lessons with Eliana moving forward.

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, dedicated - goes above and beyond!

Ely is the best Spanish tutor I have had because of how enthusiastic, personable, and dedicated she is. I am a nursing student, and work with her to improve my Spanish skills with patients in the hospital. Every week Ely prepares specific lesson plans and conversation practice for me. She is so patient during our conversations and takes time to respond to me and show interest in what I'm saying, which has immensely helped my understanding of Spanish. Her activities are specifically designed for my areas of improvement, and each is engaging and unique. As an intermediate speaker coming into our lessons, I have become advanced in my conversation skills and vocab in just a few weeks. I am much more confident using Spanish in my interactions with native speakers because of Ely's teaching and hard work. She is truly an incredible teacher and I highly recommend you work with her.

Knowledgeable and make learning a hard subject fun!

Eliana is a well versed instructor. She knows what she is teaching and she makes learning fun! I find Eliana very friendly , politely, and respectful . I was very nervous to the beginning of the lesson but after awhile she made me feel very relaxed. Yes, I recommend Eliana to anyone who wants to learn Spanish!

Christina, 2 lessons with Eliana

Awesome tutor!

Eliana is great to work with. She is very kind, patient and easy to practice Spanish with. She has her own lessons to work on general Spanish conversation but she will also work on anything specific in the Spanish language that you want. She has helped me prepare for class assignments for my college Spanish course and my grades and knowledge have improved greatly.
