You can book up to 7 appointments a week, and up to three appointments per day with a conversation partner. If you make more than more appointment in the same day they must be with different members of our staff and for different focuses. We offer both in-person and virtual sessions (on Zoom). 

You do not need to bring anything if you just want to chat. However, some students bring in discussion questions they’d like to talk about, assignments or activities, or vocabulary and slang they have questions about. If you are practicing a presentation, we recommend bringing a digital or printed copy of your slides with you. If you’re looking for help with reading comprehension, test prep, or grammar exercises, it’s helpful to bring in the readings from class or the textbook you are using, if applicable.

We keep detailed reports on every Language Tutoring session. After each session, you'll receive a session summary via email. You can share that summary with your professor (or advisor) as verification of your session. 

No, you do not have to be enrolled in a language course in order to make an appointment. You must have some base knowledge in the target foreign language. Beyond that, you may be in between coursework, preparing for study abroad or an internship, finished with your coursework in the language, studying on your own, etc.

Yes, Language Tutors can work with up to two students at a time. However, to have a group session, you must contact Kate White or attend our weekly Language Tables; we cannot accommodate groups in our shorter sessions (20-25 mins).
