Valentina Castañeda

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!

She is an awesome teacher! I can’t recommend her enough. Always prepared ready to answer all your questions and explain more in detail. Super knowledgeable.

I wish everyone knew how great and accommodating she is.. Probably the best tutor on here hands down 10/10

Quiero agradecerte por siempre desafiarme a hablar en español. Su apoyo ha mejorado mucho mi habilidad para comunicarme en español. Gracias por ser una maestra excepcional! :)

I have taken 16 lessons (one lesson which was 60 minutes and the rest were 90 minutes) with Valen so far, and I have nothing but positive things to say regarding our lessons. She’s consistently kind, patient, and encouraging and even at 90 minutes, the time flies. Our lessons usually goes like this: 1. The first 30 minutes is more free flow and natural conversations similar to how you would speak to a friend. It’s great for building confidence and speaking more naturally. 2. This then pivots to a more focused lesson regarding a certain topic (i.e., grammer, conjugations, etc.) where she prepares slides and explains the concepts reinforces it with drills and exercises so it actually sticks. This usually takes up the other 60 minutes. Overall, I cannot be happier with Valen as my teacher and have saw significant improvement in my Spanish ability. Additionally, the prices of her lessons are extremely affordable which is a huge plus as a college student. I highly recommend!

Valen was extremely patient and encouraging throughout my lesson. I felt embarrassed to be so bad at Spanish after not speaking it for several years, but I felt well supported and confident in Valen's hands!
