Tutoring and Conversation Hours

The VCL offers both tutoring and conversational opportunity for many languages taught on campus. These sessions are generally held in the VCL office Furman 001. While tutoring is a more structured and targeted form of help, our conversation hours are a less formal social gathering that gives students an opportunity to practice a language with others. For those sessions that are tutoring and conversation combined, the host will gauge the need of specific attendees.

Spanish Tutoring is by appointment only! CLICK HERE to schedule tutoring with Prof. Jose Aznar.

Maya K’iche’ Conversation Group

Led by native speaker Nela Tahay, this conversation group is held via zoom for those studying the language! Date and time TBD. If you are interested in participating, please email emitayl@live.unc.edu. Please note that while all levels of K’iche’ speakers are welcome in the group, we do ask that participants have prior experience with the language.
