About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2018InterestsFoodMedical & HealthcareTravel
I am a curious, ever-learning person who enjoys traveling and immersing herself in other cultures. I love to exercise and stay active through biking, swimming, playing tennis and volleyball. I also enjoy dancing, and could not imagine my life without music and dance! Last, I take great pleasure in cooking, and even greater pleasure in eating and trying new dishes.
I hold two master degrees, one in Business Administration (MBA), and the other in Liberal Studies, with a focus in philosophy. I also hold a CELTA and a certificate: Enseigner le français langue étrangère aujourd'hui-Avancé.
I am a native French and Haitian Creole speaker, and I studied Spanish. I am currently learning Slovene.Me as a Teacher
I enjoy learning and found out through tutoring that I also enjoy sharing and explaining things to my peers and students. Moreover, they enjoy my energy and seem to benefit from my teaching style, which makes the experience even more fulfilling and motivating!
I currently teach General English, Exam preparation, Business English, Pronunciation and Speaking, and English Tutoring (conversation), as well as French and Haitian Creole classes.
I know the challenges learning a new language can present, and I believe in continuously improving my teaching skills through a variety of professional training that I can customize to help my students progress faster and excel in their learning! My lessons & teaching style
I have two styles of teaching which I customize to each student's needs. The most common is pre-structured, where I develop a lesson plan with a target language, within a specific context, for example, learning about the present continuous in the context of my student traveling or renting a car. This ensures my student learns vocabulary related to a relevant, real-life topic, and applies the target language through speaking and writing exercises.
I can also structure the class around a topic that my student chooses with a narrower focus, such as more grammar than vocabulary and vice versa. For either style, students can expect to also cover pronunciation.My teaching material

Valerie is incredible! I have been taking classes with her for months and have noticed a huge improvement. She finds your mistakes immediately, helps you improve step by step, gives you advice so you can progress on your own, and is patient. She connects to classes on time and always lets you know in advance if she is going to be late. There is only one like her on this platform 😊

I am truly impressed by her professionalism and dedication. She is an exceptional specialist — warm, calm, and incredibly supportive. She creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to open up and speak freely. Thanks to her guidance, each lesson feels natural and relaxed rather than stressful. I always leave with a sense of clarity and look forward to the next lesson with confidence and enthusiasm. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
