Valentina

Hola! Bonjour! I’m a Colombian-Spanish tutor with a deep love for languages and over 5 years of experience teaching Spanish and French. I grew up between Colombia, Spain, and France, so these languages have been part of my life since day one.

I’m fluent in Spanish, French, and English, and also conversational in Italian. I originally studied acting – which taught me the value of self-expression – and now I channel that same energy into helping students connect with language in a meaningful way.

I’ve worked with all kinds of learners: from children whose parents want them to grow up bilingual, to teenagers needing school support, to adults learning for travel or just for fun. I also work as a professional translator, which gives me a solid understanding of how language functions in both everyday and academic settings.

Tutoring Experience

I’ve spent the past 5 years teaching Spanish and French to students of all ages – from 5-year-olds to adults. Every learner is different, and that’s exactly what I love about teaching.

My students have included:

-Children learning a second language from a young age
-Teenagers preparing for GCSEs, A-levels, or IB
-University students looking for extra support
-Adults learning for travel, work, or the pure joy of it

I bring a lot of flexibility and creativity to each session. Whether you’re learning from scratch or brushing up your skills, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that learning a language should be personal, engaging, and fun. I tailor each lesson to my student’s individual goals, learning style, and interests – whether that means grammar help, conversational practice, cultural insights, or all of the above.

As someone with ADHD, I know how important it is to make lessons interactive and stimulating, while still covering all the key foundations. Expect visual resources, games, videos, real-life scenarios – whatever helps you retain and enjoy the material.

For me, it’s not just about learning vocabulary – it’s about understanding the people and cultures behind the words. Because that’s where the magic of language really lives.
