What Our Clients Are Saying

"EducateYa is a wonderful community place where I had the privilege to teach English to Spanish speakers in Portland. My students came from Hillsboro and drove all the way into town because the methods EducateYa used are so successful. The management at EducateYa, including Rafael Arellano-Barrera are encouraging to all teachers and students to learn, experiment and grow. I highly recommend EducateYa for its mission statement and principles to make everyone in the U.S. bilingual. Yes!" 
Nana Nash


​"Educate Ya, is an amazing place to learn and build community in the Portland area."

Great school. Super teachers Well worth my drive from Vancouver. Tried another Portland school and Educate Ya was hands down better.
