Tutoring

Students currently enrolled in Spanish Language Program (SLP) courses at Duke University have six options for receiving out-of-class language skill assistance:

Currently enrolled Spanish students may visit their Instructors during office hours to review material and receive individualized explanations. Office hours are listed on your Blackboard site.
The Instructor in a Spanish course may refer a currently enrolled student to a SLP tutor, which will allow the students to schedule a weekly appointment. Once referred, it is the student’s responsibility to schedule and keep appointments with the tutors. This is a free service. For tutoring schedules see below.
Currently enrolled students may seek extra support by working with a SLP tutor on a walk-in basis. The tutor will work 15-30 minutes with the students when the tutor’s schedule permits. Review the schedule below and walk-in to see if the tutor is available at that time. This is a free service.
Spanish 1-76 students may sign up for Peer Tutoring with the Academic Resource Center http://aaswebsv.aas.duke.edu/skills/PTPwebsite/. This is a free service.
All Duke students may participate in the Pura Vida Club: a SLP sponsored club for students who want to practice their Spanish skills while cooking, dancing, etc. See http://spanish.aas.duke.edu/opportunities/index.php for this semester’s events.
Any student may hire a tutor. Contact Pat McPherson (mcpherso@duke.edu) for names of tutors.
