It is with the greatest pleasure that I recommend Alexandra.

I have met this student at the San Diego State University, when she was my student in my Span 341 “Latin American Civilization” class, during the Fall semester of 2019. From the beginning, I was truly impressed by the quality and originality that this student brought to both of these classes and in her work. Even though Mrs. Adomaitis is not a native Spanish speaker, she was able from the beginning of the class, to follow and contribute actively to every topic, what made her presence absolutely crucial for this class success’. This student was the best in this class, demonstrating an active interest, commitment, and perseverance. In my several years I have spent at the San Diego State University and the University of Michigan, I have never encountered a better student, and I wish more of my students have her intelligence and hard-working ethics as she did.

Besides her outstanding performance in class, this student showed a remarkable interest outside the classroom too. She was consistently present during office hours and making appointments to talk about her future written works. Her interest and tenacity showed outstanding results. For her first essay this student did a detailed close reading about Coco Fusco and Guillermo López Peña’s performance short movie “The Couple in the Cage”, supporting the hypothesis questioning how the narrative built in the short, influence the spectator on the message it wants to communicate. For her second essay she did a similar essay analyzing Patricio Guzmán’s movie La batalla de Chile. For her final essay, Mrs. Adomaitis wrote about the symbolic and metaphorical dis-connection between how indigenous people are depicted in different movies and their present struggles, focusing in that tension presented in the movie También la Lluvia. All these essays were the best ones int the class, showing an exceptional talent for political and cultural critique, which only equals to her performance in class and during her visits to my office hours.

This student has outstanding analytical skills and an intelligence beyond average. Her persistence and hard work let her to be the best student in both of these classes. To the best of my knowledge, her outstanding performance is not exclusive Spanish classes. My opinions and expectations for this student cannot be higher. I have seen this student flourish through her studies at San Diego State University. She has one of the best hard-working ethics I have ever seen, and it has been a true pleasure to work with her: I would like there to be more students engaged in their education as she is.

Due to her persistence, professionalism, skills, and engagement, I give her my highest recommendation. I cannot think of a better tutor. This is a promising professional and you will benefit significantly from her. She is an exceptional human being and I am confident that she will become a remarkable professional and a great influence on her community in the near future if she accesses the proper means.
