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 American Sign Language, 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 here. For any questions related to tutoring, please contact Minjin Hashbat.
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.

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.
