Personalized, Step-by-Step Spanish Lessons from a Fluent Speaker and Fulbright Scholar

If you're looking for high-level, enjoyable, results-driven tutoring, send me a message. I've been helping students ace their next Spanish exam, paper, project, or standardized test, for over 10 years. But more importantly, I build lasting relationships with my students – meeting on a regular basis; covering all aspects of skill-building, test prep, and organization; and acting as a consistent presence in the student's life. I speak and write fluently in Spanish. But as a native English speaker, I've learned the Spanish language from the ground up, just like my students. I currently tutor students attending Horace Mann, Riverdale, Collegiate, Cornell University, and University of Cambridge, as well as adults and younger students.

About Jesse F.

My priority is to help you grow. And everyone learns differently. That's why all of my tutoring is 100% individualized. I teach according to your goals, your learning style, and your challenges. My students get results because their learning is tailored to their needs. I'm a professional teacher with over 10 years of experience helping students succeed at the middle school, high school, and college levels. I also regularly work with early and mid-career professionals. I teach Spanish, English, History, Math, ACT, and ISEE/SSAT. I hold a masters degree from Harvard University, a Bachelors degree in Spanish language and Political Science, and a teaching certificate from the Fulbright Scholarship program. I currently tutor students attending Horace Mann, Riverdale, Trinity, Collegiate, Chapin, Lycée Français, Dwight, Hong Kong International School, Cornell College, and the University of Cambridge. I help students of every age to ace their next exam, paper, or standardized test and build the skills to help them succeed in class and in life. Just as important, I build lasting relationships with my students based on mutual trust and respect. My students come away from tutoring sessions energized, with a sense of confidence and motivation. I believe that meetings with a tutor should be enjoyable, and they should inspire students to work smart and work hard. After studying at the University of Havana, in Cuba, I wrote peer-reviewed research, which was published in the journal "Cuba in Transition." A year later, I was awarded a Fulbright grant to teach and conduct research in Montevideo, Uruguay. There, I worked with the U.S. Embassy to create a series of new language courses in public schools. If you're looking for top-tier, enjoyable, results-driven tutoring, send me a message!

With Jesse’s assistance, I received offers of admission from some of my top-choice schools. Jesse provided incredible guidance throughout the college application process and instilled in me a sense of security and organization that made the journey much smoother. Navigating the complex application process became manageable, and even enjoyable, with his help. One of the most notable aspects of his support was the significant improvement in my writing skills. Through his expert guidance and constructive feedback, I was able to refine my writing and convey my ideas effectively and efficiently. This helped me improve not only as a college applicant but also as a student in general. Jesse encouraged me to develop the most meaningful, perceptive, and captivating ideas, pushing me to go beyond the surface level, which was evident in the overall result of my writing. He fostered an atmosphere where I felt comfortable exploring more complex concepts and learning to tell my story with precision and heart.
