What Students Have To Say

Check out our Google reviews below to see how we’re making a real impact!

I’ve studied at both Elefun locations. I like this location because it has a nice balcony and an area to hang out and meet other students. Here I worked with Sarah who has a fun interactive teaching style, and Laura who writes everything down to make sure that you understand completely. The reception staff, Alejandra and David, are always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Attending here was probably the best learning experience I’ve had.

A dynamic teaching environment where teachers actually make the effort to tailor classes to individual learning needs, rather than following a template format. You can ask for additional tasks and homework if you want to accelerate your learning, and the staff are all incredibly friendly. A great experience!

Scott Forbes

This school is amazing. I highly recommended to everyone. I took 2 months classes of Spanish and I learned a lot! (planned to stay just one month). Teachers are professionals and very friendly. Without pain I learned a lot of grammar. 🙈 And Felipe on the recepcion is sweetheart! The location of school is perfect, super easy to get there and close to everything. They also offer student visa which is great if you planing to stay in Colombia longer.

La mejor escuela en Medellin! <3
The best people, the best classes and the best trips! I stayed in Medellín for one month, and my classes at EleFun made my trip much easier and more fun! The classes were targeted to my level of the Spanish language, and they taught me a lot about the Medellín dialect.In one week, I could order food more confidently and be able to take the right bus. When I travel, I like to do full immersion in the culture and the people, that's why their events are awesome! They took us to a real Medellín neighborhood party where they served us homemade Sancocho, and experience I'll never forget <3

It's true what they say. You can't fully appreciate and enjoy Medellin without learning Spanish. I attended Elefun for 6 months in '22 and returned for another 6 months in '23. That speaks for itself! The instructors are excellent and they make learning fun. The cultural activities are a blast! Elefun truly "opens the doors" to the city. You will also learn about Colombian history and culture, and have the opportunity to take weekend trips to exciting destinations. The students are from all over the world, and I made many new friends from other countries. Highly recommended! Me encanta Elefun! ❤️ 🇨🇴

Hi future Elefun student! Sending this review from Minneapolis, MN. I attended Elefun in 2021 for 3 months, 5 days a week, 2 hours a day. There is not enough words to use to express how grateful I am to Elefun for making my first ever experience out of the US, simply put, unforgettable. I love this school and it's staff with all my heart and every time I return, I'll be stopping by for classes and to see all of mis Maestras!

I initially planed to stay two weeks but I ended up adding another week because of how fast I progressed here. I attended group classes and some private lessons as well. The methodology is organised but not too formal at the same time, which is my preferred way of learning. The school also organises social events in order to meet with locals and other students with funny ans interesting themes which are very nice to attend!. The staff is insanely kind and helpful.
