About my Story

Hi! I'm Valentina.

I am a native Spanish speaker from Cรณrdoba, Argentina. My teaching journey started in 2019 on Italki, where I discovered my passion for connecting with students from all over the world. In 2021, I launched SpanishCard to offer a more personalized and engaging way to learn.

A curious mind. I believe the best conversations happen when we share our interests. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology and spent years working in scientific research. However, I discovered that my true passion lies in financial education. That is why I am currently on the path to becoming a Financial Advisor. I am also deeply interested in psychology, economics, and healthy living.

Iโ€™ve been in your shoes. Learning a language is a challenge, and I understand it firsthand. I achieved C1 levels in English and German simultaneously through international exams, and I learned Italian on my own. But I didnโ€™t just study from booksโ€ฆ I lived in Germany for three months, traveling across the country, and I also spent time in Brazil, England, and other parts of Europe, South and Central America. I visit the United States frequently to see family, but my curiosity is endless: I still have much of the world to see, like Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

When I'm not teaching... You can find me analyzing the stock market, reading news and books, traveling, dancing, working out, or cooking healthy meals. I am also a proud "dog mom" to my two Border Collies, Athena and Canela, who keep my life fun and active.

Letโ€™s connect!

My Mission

My mission is to make learning Spanish an engaging, effective, and rewarding experience. I want to help you:

  • โœ“Speak with confidence in real-life situations, whether you're traveling, working, or connecting with Spanish-speaking friends and family.
  • โœ“Understand the culture behind the language, because true fluency goes beyond words.
  • โœ“Achieve your personal goals, whether that's passing an exam, advancing your career, or simply enjoying Spanish movies without subtitles.
  • โœ“Enjoy the learning process in a supportive, patient, and fun environment.
