Language Tutors

Valpo students can meet with a trained peer tutor for one-on-one sessions in Spanish, German, and French. Even if you’re not taking a language class, you can meet with a tutor to maintain your language skills or prepare for a semester abroad.

Tutoring services at Valpo’s Learning Centers are free to students. LINC language tutors have a set schedule and are available for by-appointment sessions. Tutors can meet students wanting a single session or sessions on a regular basis throughout the semester. LINC language tutors support students of all abilities, primarily at the 1st and 2nd year level.
