About Me
italki teacher since Jul 29, 2021
InterestsFilms & TV SeriesTravelArtSports & Fitness
A few years ago now, I started traveling and working around the world - and still doing it 🗺
I learned English living in The Northern Islands of Scotland, which gave me the opportunity to work for several years as a tour guide between Panama and Colombia on the Caribbean sea - where I was working with the resident indigenous community
During and after the pandemic I had the chance to travel and live in several countries through Europe, South Africa and now South America - again!
Along the way, I’ve been in touch with several languages and I’ve been actively learning and speaking English and Spanish, so I know how challenging it can be to learn and become fluent in a foreign language 🗻
Me as a Teacher
I’ve been an Italki tutor for the past three years and I’ve been enjoying it a lot 🤌
I’m a relaxed, patient and easy going person ✌️
I am passionate about travel, culture and all types of adventure but genuinely, I just really like meeting new people.
Can’t wait to meet you 👋

Me parece que Val es un extraordinario profesor. Justo lo que necesitaba. En media hora me dió un amplio panorama de cómo podría aprender de la manera que sea mejor para mi. Es mi descubrimiento del año. Gracias por tenerlo en su equipo.

Very happy with my first lesson covered lots of areas to move forward with and I was able to completely understand our conversation which was geared at my level. Looking forward to more lessons to improve my French conversation skills.
