Our Origins

The origin of our services goes back 17 years ago, when while living in Oklahoma, USA, our director (Jairo Ternera) had the opportunity to work as a Spanish tutor. Before returning to Colombia, Jairo attained his TEFL/TESL certificate. Now we are a group of certified teachers who aim at helping our students in the best possible way.

Now we are 10 teachers who have decided to dedicate our lives to the teaching of languages and hence, collaborate with whom require English and/or French to advance both personally and professionally.

Our excellent results and the trust our students have in our courses, have positioned us as one of the best test preparation centers in Colombia.

We now have an agreement with In Other Words and can register candidates to take the TOEIC test.

2015

2016

We start working together with The University of Oklahoma, OU, in order to offer Colombian students the opportunity of pursuing their undergraduate and postgraduate studies at this recognized university.

2017

Always seeking to grow and widen our knowledge, Jairo commences a Master in TESOL (Teacher of English for Speakers of Other Languages) at the University of Oklahoma. This program will end in 2018, but we are already incorporing this new knowledge into our courses.

Due to the high increase in the demand of our courses from students outside Bogotá, teachers who are residing in other cities, and factors such as Bogota's traffic, most of our processes are online, using our platform in Zoom.
