Language Assistants & Tutors

Language Assistants

Students who participate in the Spanish & Pre-Health Programs have the opportunity to practice their Spanish with native speakers in a classroom setting with our experienced Language Assistants. They will work along side students during classtime to help you to understand the grammar and vocabulary on a deeper, more individualized level.  Language Assistant interact with our students in a small-group session and converse with them in Spanish. Your professor will let you know the time and days that you will work with them and give suggestions of the material that should be covered.

Tutors

Every other Wednesday evening, around 8 pm to 9:30 pm, students will also have the opportunity to discover Sevilla with the Tutors. You can go with them, have a drink, tapas or walk around Sevilla during the hour and a half while you practice your Spanish with them and see your new city from their perspective! Students who speak advanced Spanish have the opportunity to work with their tutor one-on-one, while less advanced Spanish speaking students have the option to pair up with another student to spend the time with your tutor. It is a fun cultural experience and you get to see how Spanish people live their social gatherings.

Both Language Assistants & Tutors are built into the Spanish program year around, even during the summer sessions.
