Who We Are

The Blume Language and Culture Learning Center provides a convenient, dedicated space for language tutoring, teaching and learning, as well as serving as a central repository for language resources and pedagogical expertise.

What We Do

Our role is to provide support to Trinity students enrolled in world language classes through the Department of Language and Culture Studies. We strongly believe that all students possess the ability to achieve proficiency in a second language. With the capability to communicate in a language other than your own, you not only engage in mastering linguistic skills, but also acquire valuable insight into different cultures and perspectives, allowing you to participate more knowledgeably and empathetically in our diverse and global society.

We offer tutoring in:

Arabic Chinese French Hebrew
Italian Japanese Spanish

Tutors may not complete assignments for students but can identify patterns of errors and work one-on-one with a student to facilitate the mastery of specific concepts. Tutors are selected, trained and overseen by the co-directors in order to best meet the needs of the individual student.
