Valentina Franco

Valentina is unbelievably kind and patient with her students (me). She tailors her lessons precisely to my learning needs; gives assignments to work on only after carefully considering the time that I have outside of lessons; and instructs in a way that is both fun and engaging. She has helped me improve in my Spanish so much, and for that I’m truly grateful. I highly recommend Valentina, there’s no one better.

Valentina is an amazing person and an amazing teacher, she really cares about you as a student and wants you to succeed. She is always very detailed with her lesson plans and she tries her best to make sure you really understand the material. I started taking lessons with her around 7 months ago and I have seen my level of spanish skyrocket. One of my favorite things about her classes is you always feel really comfortable speaking, and she will cheer you on and help you with whatever you want to say. On top of all of this, Valentina can talk to you about many different topics and you will quickly start to see that you have learned a vast amount of useful vocabulary. She is also really funny and a very joyful person, it is always great to learn with someone who genuinely wants you to accomplish your goals!

Valentina is a fantastic Spanish teacher! She is incredibly caring, patient, and makes learning so easy and enjoyable. Her lessons are well-organized, fun, and she explains everything clearly. I always feel comfortable speaking and practicing with her. I highly recommend Valentina to anyone looking to improve their Spanish!

I’ve had Valentina as my Spanish tutor for a little over a year now, and I can say she is the best! I started with very little knowledge of Spanish and she was patient and helped me in the beginning stages of learning to the point I’m at now. Others are impressed with my Spanish, and I don’t believe I could’ve gotten to the level I’m at by this point without her. It shows. She helps to encourage and motivate you. She gives homework to keep you on top of it all as well! I strongly recommend Valentina to anybody learning. She does an amazing job with explaining and giving examples as well. I look forward to the lessons with her and the days that I struggle, she has a lot of patience as she understands that everyone makes mistakes in the learning process and that’s okay.

I absolutely love my Spanish classes with Valentina! She's not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also so easy to talk to, which makes learning feel fun and relaxed. She brings in a wide range of materials—articles, music, videos, podcasts, books, and other real-world media—that make learning Spanish feel natural and engaging. I really appreciate how flexible she is with each class, always open to focusing on whatever is most helpful in the moment. Plus, she shares so many amazing resources to support learning outside of class. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

This was trial lesson - but loved Valentina excited to take more!
