Language and Orientation Tutoring
Program
Sponsored by the Vice Provost for Graduate Education
Note: This free tutoring service is not part
of the EFS Program and is only available for regular Stanford graduate
students. Summer visitors, postdocs, undergraduates, and visiting scholars
are not eligible.
LOT offers
both one-on-one tutoring and conversation group tutoring. A description of
the two kinds of tutoring can be found below.
As a participant in
one-on-one tutoring, you will be assigned a highly qualified tutor to meet with
for one hour per week for the duration of a quarter at no cost to yourself.
You may use this hour to practice your conversation skills, work on writing
abstracts or grant proposals with your tutor's assistance, ask questions about
American university culture, etc.
As a participant in
a LOT conversation pair, you will be assigned to a group consisting of
two tutees and one highly qualified tutor for one hour per week for the duration
of Winter Quarter at no cost to yourself. The conversation groups focus
primarily on building oral communication skills.
We know that
graduate student life can be hectic, so please only sign up for the program if
your schedule will allow you to take full advantage your meetings.
LOT signups are closed for Winter 2016: new signups will be available
toward the end of that quarter.
For further information or to be placed on
the email list for future announcements, contact the LOT Program
Coordinator,
