My Story

For over three decades, Maritza Nelson has been a beacon of inspiration in the world of language education. As a seasoned Spanish teacher, she embarked on her remarkable journey in 1989 when she founded her school in Wycoff, New Jersey. Since then, Maritza has dedicated her life to the intricate art of language and has touched countless lives along the way.

Maritza's passion for teaching knows no bounds. Her profound understanding of the Spanish language, coupled with her unwavering commitment to her students, has made her a trusted guide for learners of all backgrounds and skill levels. She has become a revered figure in her community, known not just for her expertise but also for her compassion and dedication to her craft.

One of the most notable chapters in Maritza's illustrious career is the story of her encounter with an indigenous woman who spoke a now-extinct dialect and had no knowledge of English. In this exceptional case, Maritza's teaching transcended conventional methods. She embarked on a one-on-one journey with the woman, immersing her in interactive, real-life scenarios. Together, they navigated the aisles of a grocery store, with Maritza patiently teaching her how to pronounce and use common English phrases. This personalized and immersive approach not only transformed the woman's life but also stands as a testament to Maritza's extraordinary dedication to her students' success.

In addition to her remarkable career in language education, Maritza Nelson is also a versatile author who delved into the realm of nonverbal communication as well. Her book on body language, published in 2007, Titled 'Speaking Without Words, The Language of the body' has become an unexpected but invaluable asset in her teaching journey.

Maritza Nelson's fulfillment as an educator lies in her ability to connect people through the captivating art of language. Her legacy is not just in the knowledge she imparts but in the bridges she builds between cultures and communities. With every lesson taught and every linguistic obstacle overcome, Maritza continues to inspire and empower her students to reach new heights in their language journeys.

In her enduring commitment to her craft, Maritza Nelson remains a shining example of how one dedicated individual can make a profound impact on the lives of many, leaving an indelible mark on the world of language education.
