About Us
Universal language Academy was created after years of passion, commitment to teaching and cultural exchange by the Fulbright Scholar, Founder and Director, Iliana Armenta.
Iliana Armenta is a former Fulbright Scholar member of the Mexico-USA Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange; she recently won the scholarship for “100 fearless projects” offered by the US Embassy in Mexico, the US Consulate in Guadalajara and COPARMEX Jalisco 2020 out of 1141 participants and 16 countries. She has been a fulltime Professor in the Modern Languages Department in universities such as Tecnológico de Monterrey, Universidad Anáhuac, Universidad del Valle de México, UNITEC, just to name a few in Mexico. At South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota, United States, she taught Spanish and Mexican culture to Spanish majors.
Her second career was in Art studies. She studied Theater at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York and in Spain, which is why along with the pedagogic English and Spanish methods applied, she develops acting methods through literature, the use of emotive memory, voice and speech for accent reduction in the target language.
In addition to teaching, her language skills are often sought out by companies in need of highly specialized and technical translations.
This is how Universal Language Academy was born.

The methodology used through personalized teaching combined with my previous knowledge of English helped me achieve the TOEFL scores I needed to complete my MBA studies.
My professors at Universal Language Academy helped me learn in a practical and fun way, increasing my fluency to speak and understand different accents. This has helped me to have better job opportunities.
Having been part of this academy was an excellent experience in my life. The methodology applied is easier to understand to learn the language. This opportunity has been useful to improve the performance into my company.
I had always wanted my kids to speak Spanish since so much of my family is Spanish speaking. Unfortunately my husband doesn't speak Spanish, so it became awkward to speak it to the kids. I've regretted it for years, so I was really excited for my kids to start learning. In just a couple of months, my kids have learned so much and now will often ask me how to say certain things because they want to learn more. I am also impressed with their writing/spelling skills too. Their teacher is very patient and manages to keep them engaged and learning. I'm so glad we found Universal Language Academy, and only regret I didn't find them sooner!
