His English degree also sharpens the presentational writing and speaking skills the exam demands.

Hi, my name is Jorge and I am from Lima Peru. Most of my academic experience is related to Biomedical sciences, in the fields of Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology and development. During my PhD, I had a proactive role organizing scientific symposiums and retreats. This trained my presentation skills to share my research in important scientific meetings in the US: I won best poster award at the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in 2022 and was an invited speaker at Cold Spring Harbor meeting in 2023, among others. Besides my research experience, I have a strong commitment to improve higher education in STEM. Since 2020, I co-direct the Research Experience for Peruvian Undergrads (REPU) program, that provides international scientific internships to Peruvian undergrads in top universities in the US and Europe. I have the chance to mentor undergards in STEM. Additionally, I am a native Spanish speaker, which allowed me to give Spanish lessons to some students in the USA. I want to use my best of my abilities to support students and build a career for myself in Education.

Richard earned the highest scores on the AP Spanish exam with listening after double-majoring in Spanish at Emory and studying in Spain.

Living in Spain for six months gave Rebecca the kind of immersive fluency that AP Spanish Language & Culture demands — not just grammar accuracy, but the ability to navigate cultural comparisons and presentational speaking with confidence. She tackles the interpersonal and presentational writing tasks by teaching students how to integrate source material and build arguments entirely in Spanish. Her Notre Dame training in close reading also translates directly to the audio and print source analysis on the exam.

John's anthropology degree means he's trained to analyze how cultural practices vary across communities — the exact thinking the AP Spanish exam's cultural comparison prompt rewards.

Rated 5.0 by students.
