She also teaches every Spanish level from 1 through AP, so she can quickly identify which grammatical gaps need closing before a student tackles timed writing in formal register.

The AP Spanish exam's persuasive essay asks students to synthesize sources and argue in formal register — skills that Miguel's English degree sharpened on the analytical side, even though Spanish isn't his core teaching area.

Rated 4.9 by students.
