Exceptionally motivating and talented

Valeria has already helped me deepen my knowledge of Spanish by providing the resources and structured lessons I need to really understand and practice -- all the while managing to be both supportive and fun. I look forward to continuing to work with her, and to using my skills in Guatemala and beyond!

Awesome tutor that's really nice! Very positive experience!!

My daughter is very picky about tutors normally but she really loved and connected with Valeria. She said that Valeria was really nice, easy to talk to, a great teacher and very encouraging. After the tutoring session my daughter was more confident with her course work and did very well. Thanks, Valeria!!!

Exceeded expectations

My daughter's experience was amazing! In little time Valeria put her at ease, covered the materials and set her up for success moving forward. She presented the materials in an engaging way and was genuinely concerned about our daughters complete understanding. We were so fortunate to find Valeria. Thank you!!
