While we will not maintain our regular in-person daily schedule, targeted support—such as Spanish 1010 and 1020 tutoring—will be available online. Full operations for the Fall 2025 semester will resume on August 25th. For questions or summer support inquiries, please contact Dr. Jesse Perez, LC Director, at jperez@uccs.edu.
Students seeking tutoring this summer who are not enrolled in SPAN 1010 or SPAN 1020 should email the Languages Center directly at langsctr@uccs.edu.

Tutoring at the Excel Languages Center
The Excel Languages Center (LC) offers free tutoring to support students in their language learning journey. Whether you're enrolled in a UCCS language course or are an independent learner, our peer tutors are here to help you build confidence, improve proficiency, and develop effective language-learning strategies.
Our mission is to help students succeed in language learning through personalized tutoring, conversational practice, and skill-building strategies. We provide a welcoming and inclusive space where students can strengthen their language abilities and gain cultural insights.
What We Offer:
Who Are Our Tutors?
Our tutors are UCCS students who have excelled in their language studies and are trained to support their peers. They understand the challenges of language learning firsthand and are committed to fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment.
Benefits of Tutoring
Working with a tutor provides numerous advantages, including:
Tutoring begins the first week of classes each semester and ends the last week of classes. (There is limited tutoring during finals week.)
If your personal schedule prevents you from attending one of our open sessions, you may contact us to inquire about setting up a one-on-one tutoring session. This is addressed on a case-by-case basis due to Tutor and administrative availability. Whenever possible, these sessions will also take place in the LC but we will continue to utilize Microsoft Teams in certain circumstances.
Please never hesitate to communicate your individual Excel Languages Center needs to us. If you need support outside of the posted days/hours, please email LANGSCTR@uccs.edu with a detailed request with your availability and the Excel Languages Center Director—Dr. Jesse Perez --will work with you to support your needs to the best of our ability.
