Summer 2026 Tutoring

The Excel Languages Center will operate with limited summer hours and primarily online support during the Summer 2026 semester. Summer tutoring support is available for Japanese and Spanish.

Students may connect with tutors through Microsoft Teams, email, or scheduled virtual appointments. Because staffing is limited during the summer, we encourage students to reach out in advance whenever possible.

Tutoring and time that works for me

Tutoring at the Excel Languages Center is free and available on a drop-in basis during posted hours. No appointment is needed.

  • Our tutoring model is collaborative. Tutors rotate throughout the space, checking in with students and providing support as needed. You may receive one-on-one help at times, but most sessions take place in a shared, interactive environment.

  • Tutors can help with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, writing, and study strategies. Conversation Tables are also available to support speaking practice in a relaxed group setting.

  • By working with a tutor, students can build confidence, strengthen language skills, and develop effective study strategies in a supportive, community-centered environment.

The center is a welcoming space to study, ask questions, and connect with other language learners.

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.
