Her 1550 SAT score reflects the kind of disciplined, timed-test thinking she brings to AP prep.

Having earned a BA in Spanish and studied the language at an advanced academic level, Steven knows exactly where the AP Spanish Language & Culture exam tries to trip students up — from interpreting audio sources in the interpersonal speaking task to weaving cultural comparisons into the presentational essay.

Between teaching Spanish 1 through 4, conversational Spanish, and both SAT Spanish Subject Tests, Linda has logged serious hours across every level of the language — which means she can quickly spot whether an AP student's weak point is a shaky subjunctive foundation or an inability to shift into formal written register under timed conditions.
