Jessica: Suffolk County tutor

Certified Tutor

Welcome to My Profile!
My name is Jessica Cutino Herrera. While I was born in Cuba, I've spent most of my life in Canada. Growing up here, my Spanish was limited, and my connection to my culture wasn't as deep as I wanted it to be. Through high school and university, I worked hard to bridge this gap and discovered many ways to make language learning more effective and engaging.

Now, I'm passionate about helping others discover the beauty of the Spanish language and culture. Whether you're just starting or looking to enhance your conversational skills, I offer personalized lessons tailored to your goals. My mission is to make learning Spanish accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Spanish for Adults
Are you an adult learner looking to become fluent in Spanish or simply pick up basic conversational skills? I specialize in helping adults develop practical communication skills for everyday life, work, or travel. My lessons are interactive, focused on conversation, and designed to build your confidence as you learn.

Teaching Young Learners
I love working with young students, guiding them through their first steps in learning. My approach to teaching reading is centered on phonicsfocusing on letter sounds to build a strong foundation for literacy. For children as young as 3-4, I introduce 3 letters a day and create engaging activities to keep them excited about learning. I also incorporate their interests, such as favorite characters or hobbies, to ensure lessons are fun and interactive.

I teach a variety of subjects for younger students, including:

Phonics
Elementary Reading
Kindergarten Readiness
Minecraft-based Learning
Tech-Savvy Tutoring
In addition to teaching, I am highly experienced with technology and gaming. I integrate tools like AI and games such as Minecraft and Roblox into my lessons to make learning more engaging and relatable for students of all ages. Whether it's helping a student develop problem-solving skills through Minecraft or teaching basics with AI tools, I'm here to bring tech-based learning to life.

Why Choose Me?
I believe in tailoring each lesson to the student's unique needs and interests. For young learners, this might mean reading books about their favorite characters or discussing their hobbies. For adult learners, we'll focus on practical scenarios and conversational fluency. Communication is at the heart of my teaching, and I strive to make every session engaging and effective.
