Hi! I’m Valen, a Spanish tutor from Medellín, Colombia. I’m also a content creator and a professional architect, but what I truly enjoy the most is helping people connect deeply with the Spanish language and Latin American culture. If you're a curious, self-motivated learner who wants to improve their Spanish in a relaxed, friendly and supportive space — you’re in the right place!

¡Hola! Soy Valen, tutora de español de Medellín, Colombia. Lo que más disfruto es ayudar a las personas a conectar con el idioma español y con la cultura latinoamericana. Si eres una persona autodidacta, curiosa y con muchas ganas de mejorar su español ¡aquí estoy para ayudarte!Me as a Teacher
Students say they feel like they’re talking to a friend, I always bring good vibes, meaningful topics, and a warm space to grow your Spanish. Feel free to check my reviews and let’s start your learning journey together!

Mis estudiantes dicen que se sienten como si hablaran con una amiga. Siempre tengo buena energía, temas interesantes y un espacio cálido para que aprendas. Revisa mis reseñas y comencemos tu viaje de aprendizaje juntos!My lessons & teaching style
My classes are mostly conversational with instant corrections, and when needed, I explain grammar topics using visual presentations and real-life examples. In our first class, we’ll have a relaxed chat to get to know each other: we’ll talk about your goals, your lifestyle, and how you prefer to be corrected (I’ll adapt to what feels best for you).

Mis clases son principalmente conversacionales y cuando es necesario, explico temas gramaticales usando presentaciones visuales y ejemplos reales. En nuestra primera clase tendremos una charla relajada para conocernos mejor: hablaremos sobre tus metas, tu estilo de vida y cómo prefieres que te corrija (me adaptaré a lo que prefieras).My teaching material

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!
