Hello! My name is Ms. Val.
I have 17 years of tutoring experience. I had to learn different ways to manage and accomplish goals during my academic career. Now, I am here to help you!
My greatest passion in life is passing down knowledge. Watching my students grow feels fantastic. I tutor English Language Arts, AP Literature, Honors English, Western Studies, Human Geography,Speech/Debate, and Social Sciences.
I am here to ensure every student is ready for college and the working world. I will even help guide you through the college application process if needed.
Many of my students are accepted into high-performance colleges.
I provide an individual curriculum for each student. In addition, my students are part of an integrated book club where we discuss literature and current events.
Whatever comes your way, Ms. Val will guide you—preparing for your first major research paper to PSAT practice. I have my students back %100.
I am not an ESL teacher. I am an ELA teacher.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Expanding my nonprofit.
Recently I have helped a few students prepare for adulthood within western civilization. Many of my students are first-generation American students in their families.
I am a bridge between parent and student. I am proud to help families unite during academic journeys.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do not be afraid to email or text me beforehand. Thanks
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I feel this is an individual process. After that, we will put a plan together.
Think about your Academic wants and needs. It does not hurt to think about 5 years from now.
