Tutor Bio

Hi, I'm Valeria! I'm originally from Mexico and have spent many years living in Spain. With extensive experience as a language teacher, I've worked with students of all ages in schools, private tutoring, and online settings.

I tailor my classes to match each student's level and preferences, ensuring an engaging and personalized learning experience.

I have a master’s degree in Cognitive Science, specializing in Linguistics. Recently, I attended the Diverse Intelligence Summer Institute in Scotland as a storyteller. These experiences have equipped me with fascinating knowledge about cognition. We can have conversations around “minds” in humans, animals, and A.I.!

Additionally, I have over 10 years of experience as an actress and acting/dialect coach. We can incorporate some acting or play with accents in our classes.

I am deeply interested in discussing captivating subjects. What inspires awe in both the student and myself is intrinsically woven into the classes. Don’t worry if you’re a beginner; we take it step by step, making the process as enjoyable as possible.

Consistency is key! As long as you show up, you are guaranteed to make progress in Spanish and learn cool stuff along the way!
