About Me

Hi! I’m Valentina, a bilingual tutor (English/Spanish, conversational French) with years of experience teaching students of all ages in both academic and athletic settings. I’m passionate about making learning engaging, supportive, and confidence-building—whether it’s tutoring across a variety of disciplines or mentoring students one-on-one.

Currently, I’m pursuing a double major in Psychology and Organisational Studies at the University of Michigan. My background includes academic tutoring, fitness & rehabilitation coaching, refugee English instruction, and leadership in both classrooms and athletics.
