I am a French native speaker and have been living in Missouri with my family for 20 years. Before coming to the USA,I lived in Mexico for 2 years and also in Madrid, Spain for 12 years, where I graduated from the Universidad Complutense and La Escuela de Traductores (Translator School). I also have a degree in Tourism.

As a native speaker I can teach you impeccable french and also make you discover a very rich and beautiful culture. I am also fluent in Spanish. I worked as a translator for 8 years in Madrid and tutored children in both French and Spanish.
Languages are my passion, I am trilingual, and am currently learning Italian (intermediate level).
I love to teach students and make them realize how easy it is to learn a new language, and how grateful it is to be able to understand other cultures. My experience is mostly with children as a private teacher. My 2 children are trilingual.

I had to learn Spanish when I moved to Madrid, and then English when we came to the USA, so I truly know what it is like to have to learn a new language, struggle with it and then discover how beautiful it is to be able to communicate and understand people from other countries; so I can easily understand and help you. I am very patient and will always adapt my teaching to your needs and difficulties.

Valerie is an amazing resource for Spanish language learning

Valerie has worked with our son, who is Junior this year, on his high school Spanish III assignments and test prep. Before we found Valerie, he was not looking forward to attending class and had missed some of the lessons taught previously in Spanish 1 & 2. I could tell that he felt behind, but that he still wanted to catch up and just needed a little extra time and a good tutor to work on it. His attitude and grade have both skyrocketed after working with her - and in a relatively short period of time. It is evident that he enjoys the lessons and his conversational Spanish has improved remarkably. If your son/daughter wants/needs a little extra help with learning Spanish (or probably French too) I highly recommend teaming up with Valerie to use her experience and patient teaching abilities.

Excellent in both French and Spanish- Great with kids

Valerie is working with my 16 year old junior in High School on French 3 AND with my 13 year old 8th grader in Spanish. She has high standards and is excellent with both kids. We started with her over the summer to keep the kids using foreign language and not have a big summer slide. So far they are off to a great school year.

Smart, engaging, and offers clear explanations

My son really enjoyed working with Valerie, and will definitely reach out to her again for help as the need arises! She helped tutor him for a French final exam, for which he did not feel prepared. She was able to clearly explain topics that he felt were tricky, was easy to understand, and he felt confident in his knowledge by the end of the session. Highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and kind

Valerie has been helping my daughter study for Spanish tests and assignments since 8th grade. She is very helpful and explains verbs and usage for her last assignment. Highly recommend Valerie for high schoolers looking for help learn and improve their Spanish skills. She is very quick in her response and is always going the extra mile. I am so glad we found Valerie.

Valerie is a Wonderful Tutor

My daughter really enjoys working with Valerie, and is doing great in her summer school French class with Valerie's help. I have also found her to be a great communicator and really easy to work with!

Amazing teacher

My children have learned so much from Valerie in just a short period of time with once a week sessions. She is a natural teacher and can work with very different personalities to optimize their ability to learn and retain the language.

The Best Tutor I've Ever Had!

Valerie is all of the things you want in a tutor - fun, compassionate, patient, perceptive, knowledgeable and culturally diverse. In only six months, Valerie taught me all of the verb tenses, a wide variety of vocabulary and pronunciation and comprehension skills. My Spanish speaking partner is extremely impressed with what I have learned in a short period of time- all thanks to Valerie. I will continue with Valerie on other languages even after Spanish. Time with her is time well spent!

Knowledgable tutor

Valerie taught my daughter Spanish. She is the best teacher. With her teaching skills and knowledge, my daughter understood easily and got comfortable with subject. My daughter says from first class, she is best teacher. Whenever she wants help, she asks me to get Valerie. Thank you Valerie for all your great work.
