Who is behind Emerson Language Academy and why do we exist today? ¡Hola! My name is Melissa Emerson and I am the founder of Emerson Language Academy. I can’t wait to expose you or your student to a whole new world of language! I moved to Ecuador when I was 10 years old without previously knowing a word of Spanish. Over many years of studying Spanish, I experienced first-hand what it is to acquire a second language and become fluent in the language. I have now made it my goal to help others learn and grow in their language journey and strive to bring the language to life along the way. I am a former High School Spanish teacher and World Language Department Chair with teaching experience ranging from Spanish 1 through Spanish Advanced Placement (AP) Level 5. I have a Bachelor’s in Spanish Education K-12 and a Master’s in 2nd Language Acquisition (from KSU). I also have worked with children and adults of all ages and at all levels of language learning. I started Emerson Language Academy because of my love and passion for Spanish AND because I wanted to pass on this love to my own four children. They have been involved in my classes since the beginning, learning right beside my other students. It fills me with joy to see them learn Spanish and I can't wait for you to experience that same excitement! Let's get started!

Emily, KS "I was looking for something like this for a while, but Emerson Language Academy exceeded my expectations. I am impressed by the level of professionalism and dedication they provide for their students and the communication with parents. My 5 year old is LOVING her classes. She is speaking a lot more Spanish at home and falling in love with the language." Cayman, KS "My tutoring session with Mrs. Emerson was very helpful. She made it very personal and took the time to understand what I knew and where I struggled. In one session Mrs. Emerson was able to fill in the missing gap for me to make my whole first year of Spanish click." Chris, KS Mrs. Emerson understands how children need to learn the language and does it in a way that is practical and fun for them! My kids love going to class and love sharing what they’ve learned. “Do you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery.” Amy Chua
