Hi everyone! My name is Wiam, and I’m a junior from Morocco majoring in data science. French and Arabic have both been part of my life since childhood as I grew up learning them side by side and even took all my classes in French. I love practicing the French language and helping others on their own language journeys. That’s why I’m excited to be your French tutor! Whether you want to stop by just to say hi, practice a few words, chat about movies, songs, or books in French, or work toward bigger language goals, you know where to find me. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello and welcome to the WLS! I am Lola and a faculty member of the LCC; I currently teach on the UG EAP programme, and have also taught on the PG EAP programme. My specialist area in EAP is English for Science, Technology and Engineering, and I have a lot of experience working with STEM students. However, I really enjoy helping to support students from all disciplines with their work, and believe that the key to really improving language learning skills is to create a supportive environment where students enjoy the learning process. También, soy un ‘coach’ de español. Viví en España y Argentina cuando empecé mi carrera como profesor de inglés, y tengo experiencia enseñando español a un nivel básico. ¡Me pone muy feliz charlar en español y apoyar a los estudiantes con su fluidez en este idioma!
