Hi! I’m Valen, a Spanish tutor from Medellín, Colombia. I’m also a content creator and a professional architect, but what I truly enjoy the most is helping people connect deeply with the Spanish language and Latin American culture. If you're a curious, self-motivated learner who wants to improve their Spanish in a relaxed, friendly and supportive space — you’re in the right place!

Mis estudiantes dicen que se sienten como si hablaran con una amiga. Siempre tengo buena energía, temas interesantes y un espacio cálido para que aprendas. Revisa mis reseñas y comencemos tu viaje de aprendizaje juntos!My lessons & teaching style
My classes are mostly conversational with instant corrections, and when needed, I explain grammar topics using visual presentations and real-life examples. In our first class, we’ll have a relaxed chat to get to know each other: we’ll talk about your goals, your lifestyle, and how you prefer to be corrected (I’ll adapt to what feels best for you).

Mis clases son principalmente conversacionales y cuando es necesario, explico temas gramaticales usando presentaciones visuales y ejemplos reales. En nuestra primera clase tendremos una charla relajada para conocernos mejor: hablaremos sobre tus metas, tu estilo de vida y cómo prefieres que te corrija (me adaptaré a lo que prefieras).My teaching material

Highly recommend! My experience with Valentina has been nothing short of fantastic. Her teaching style is both effective and enjoyable. She brings a sense of fun and friendliness to every session, making learning feel effortless. Conversations with her flow naturally, creating an environment where I feel comfortable and motivated to learn. I've decided to go full-time with her, and I couldn't be happier with my progress. If you're looking for a tutor who is not only knowledgeable but also makes learning a pleasure, look no further than Valentina!
