Language Tutoring
The CLS offers language tutoring for Yale students. Undergraduate students enrolled in language classes during the academic year can request free one-on-one tutoring with a CLS Tutor. Any Yale student - whether undergraduate, graduate, or professional - can attend free weekly Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish tutoring drop-in sessions.
Tutoring with a CLS Tutor
Yale undergraduate students enrolled in a language course may request a CLS Tutor. This tutoring is available for up to ten hours per semester. To get things started, complete and submit a Request for Tutoring (Note: you must be on the Yale network to connect to this link or, if you are not on campus, use a secure VPN connection the software for which can be downloaded here: https://software.yale.edu/software/cisco-vpn-anyconnect).
Before you begin the tutoring process, please read the Guidelines for Tutees of CLS Tutors.
Once you have submitted a Request, the tutoring program coordinator will confirm your eligibility for tutoring and assign an appropriate tutor to you.
Drop-in Tutoring Sessions
All members of the Yale community may take advantage of the CLS' weekly, drop-in tutoring sessions. Drop-in sessions are informal opportunities to practice the language and ask questions about usage.
Drop-in Tutoring Hours are held in person and/or remotely, via Zoom. Please check this page to access the Zoom meetings for the drop-in hours (if remote option is available). Please note drop-in tutoring sessions begin January 18th.
