Foreign Language Teacher (Spanish, English, and French) ¡Hola! 👋 I’m Valentina, I’m a foreign language teacher from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I’ve been teaching Spanish on italki since 2022. Teaching languages is something I truly enjoy, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with students from different backgrounds and cultures. In addition to Spanish, I have a background in teaching English and French, which has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and joys of learning a foreign language. I also had the opportunity to live in France, where I worked at a school teaching Spanish. Living abroad was an incredibly valuable experience that allowed me to immerse myself in French culture while gaining international teaching experience. Whether your goal is to improve your conversation skills, travel, open up career opportunities, or communicate with native speakers, I’ll adapt our lessons to your needs and interests. I believe learning a language should be practical, enjoyable, and personalized. I’d be more than happy to help you make Spanish a natural and enjoyable part of your life! 😊

Valentina’s lessons are always well-prepared, and she tailors each class to my specific goals. She sets relevant and engaging homework after most lessons, uses a variety of methods and tools to make learning dynamic, and is particularly strong at identifying weaknesses and helping you improve them quickly. Her approach to teaching grammar, vocabulary, and conversation is clear and effective. What really sets her apart, though, is her emotional intelligence. She’s super friendly, easy to talk to, and creates a pressure-free space where you feel safe making mistakes — which really helped my confidence grow. She also takes detailed notes during lessons so I can review everything afterward, which is incredibly helpful. Highly recommend her to anyone serious about improving their Spanish with a kind, professional, and effective teacher.

She is always present, patient, and on point. (Even when sick) She cares about her student's growth. She is also very nice and down to earth. Not only is she a great person, she is an efficient teacher. The first day she figured out where I was level wise and then she showed me areas I could improve. She taught me how effective it is to put vocabulary words on my mirror and has worked with me to increase my vocabulary at a faster rate than I thought possible. On top of how great she is overall, it is affordable. If you want to noticeable results in an uplifting environment, then Valentina is right for you. I really appreciate everything she does.

I really enjoyed my trial lesson with Valentina. She spoke very clearly and I could understand more Spanish that I initially expected. The lesson had a very natural progression, we spoke on topics that were interesting to me. Valentina wrote down words and phrases in Spanish for me whenever I couldn't say something. I have no doubt that my Spanish speaking and listening would improve massively in lessons with her.

I have been learning Spanish with Valentina for over a year—she is an awesome teacher. Valentina's lessons are always tailored to my personal learning goals, and she has been very flexible with her time. She is skilled at explaining complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, and she always encourages me to practice speaking. Valentina is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive and patient. I am grateful to have her as my teacher and highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Spanish skills.

Valentina did a wonderful job explaining how our next classes are going to look and what I can do to improve my Spanish on my own, along with creating a lesson plan. She was very kind and me made me feel very heard!
