Hi! I’m Abi Valdes, an experienced educator and entrepreneur with a passion for helping students succeed. I’ve been a tutor for six years and started Brighter Minds Tutoring in May 2023 to provide personalized academic support. Now, I’m expanding my impact with a Coral Springs Learning Pod, a part-time homeschool program for 6th and 7th graders. Beyond education, I love building communities and bringing people together—fun fact: I also run Spike Hard Volleyball, one of South Florida’s largest adult volleyball tournaments!
