Tutors are upper division students, many of whom plan to become teachers.
ESL students can also get weekly or drop-in tutoring through the Learning Skills Center. During the spring quarter, Linguistics graduate students offer special clinics for small group instruction in special topics including in grammar, academic vocabulary, or other identified needs. Such clinics serve a broader population of second language students on campus. They provide both students and teacher-trainees with important skills development opportunities. Students enroll for one unit of LIN 96 credit.
