Reading and writing are Daniela's home base — she's an English major with a 1560 SAT who also tutors across four levels of Spanish, from introductory through AP. For this exam, that combination means she can coach students on the literary analysis and essay-writing mechanics (thesis construction, evidence integration, argumentative flow) while working through the Spanish-language texts on the reading list. Her cross-language fluency keeps sessions grounded in both the literature and the language it's written in.

Medical school sharpens one skill that translates surprisingly well to AP Spanish Literature: reading dense, complex material under pressure and extracting exactly what matters.

This isn't her deepest subject, but for students who need help with the mechanics of building an evidence-based essay under exam conditions, her systematic approach fills a real gap.
