Yes, but if you only know Spanish and are just learning English, why would you be taught Elder before Older? The later is far more common and widely used.

You'd be told Mayor = Older, and Elder would be added later. It's entirelly possible they're not a native English speaker, who has been taught Older but not Elder.
