International Ambassador Program

Each semester the Center for International Education matches American students who have volunteered to be tutors with international students who have requested a tutor. These tutoring sessions can follow a variety of formats, depending upon the needs of the international student. The tutoring times can focus on academic content, conversational English, or just spending time together in friendship. Click here for more information.
