S help

Questions about your Spanish homework? Want to practice your conversation skills? Make an appointment or drop in for a tutoring session at the Spanish Help Desk and meet with a Teaching Assistant (TA) in the SPAN 101-103 program! The objective of the Spanish Help Desk is to provide language support and additional practice opportunities to students in the SPAN 101-103 language sequence.

The TAs can assist you by:

  • Proofreading your written work. This means pointing out errors so you can correct your own mistakes.
  • Answering short grammar questions. Your TA will not give in-depth grammar explanations, as this is the role of your professor. If you need substantial help with grammar, please speak to your professor.
  • Providing additional practice exercises to work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, speaking, reading, and listening
  • Helping you locate and use different learning resources
  • Chatting with you in Spanish!
  • Appointments available for in-person and virtual sessions. Drop-ins are in-person only.
