***I am currently on a brief hiatus from my academic duties as I am expecting to welcome my child into the world in May. During this period, I will be focusing on transitioning into the responsibilities of motherhood and ensuring the well-being of both myself and my baby.
Rest assured, I plan to return to my teaching duties as soon as I have adjusted to this new chapter in my life.***
Me as a Teacher
While I've always felt driven to be a Spanish language instructor, the joy I felt from facilitating the growth and development of language learners throughout the world only reaffirmed my passion and culture. I think the best learning is the one obtained in everyday conversations through immersion, and that's why I like keeping a written record for each student during class to raise the level of difficulty according to the pace that you feel most comfortable. The important thing is that the subjects are interesting for you to flow in Spanish without noticing your level.
My lessons & teaching style
Our starting class will start with your current level through an informal conversation to define the individual objectives that are sought out throughout your time with me and make a personalized schedule with the topics of interest of each student. During class, I will note challenging vocabulary, solve complex questions, and send tasks that engage and improve your level of Spanish through all forms of media, a TV series, listening to music, or writing on subjects that interest you.
I look forward to a career where I can help shape young and old minds alike and make a difference in students' lives in our online community!
I have now had months of lessons and conversations with Valeria and she is absolutely delightful, instructive and fun!!! 30 mins goes by like 2 or 3. Highly highly recommend

Valeria is the best. I'm very proud to recommend Valeria who was just recently recognized as a top 1% teacher on Italki. ALL of Italki. Not just Spanish language teachers. It is a very well deserved achievement. Brava Maestra!

Valeria is the real deal! She is always helpful and nice; we have been working together for a while. We usually talk about our interests, interesting cultural anecdotes about Mexico, and my interest in learning Spanish. She is very personable and cares about your needs as a student. Please take a course with her!

Estoy en el proceso de contar a Valeria mi viaje en Canada por las vacaciones de invierno en febrero. En la clase pasada, yo la hablé de los tres primeros dias del viaje, cuando me fue en Montreal, Mont Tremblant y Trois-Rivieres. En la clase de hoy, yo continué mi historia y hablé de mi camineta en el Parque de la Mauricie y mis aventuras en la Ciudad de Québec. ¡Tengo muchas historias y fotos a compartir! La ultima parte de mi historia sera en la proxima semana.
