Elia Edu Hub began as a simple exchange of Instagram messages in early 2026 initiated by Aretha to Kris of Elia English Course. The idea was simple: how can we better prepare younger generation for a more complex and challenging future? And since we are both seasoned educators, the answer seems pretty straightforward: offering in-demand education services rarely found in Padang. What started as two-strong initiative has a growing network of global professionals sharing the same passion.
