Language Support

All GU-Q students must be proficient in a language other than English by graduation in order to complete the BSFS degree requirements. GU-Q offers Arabic and French courses for both heritage and non-heritage learners who are either not already proficient in a foreign language or would like to become proficient in another one. To support students in their pursuit of learning a foreign language, the Office of Academic Services offers free tutoring in Arabic and French to all GU-Q students. 

Why should you make an appointment?

• You’re struggling with an Arabic or French assignment
• You’re a heritage learner but still have weaknesses in some areas
• You’re a non-heritage learner and you feel overwhelmed
• You would like to practice with a fluent speaker ahead of your upcoming proficiency exam
• You’re interested in practicing in general

Make an appointment with one of our peer tutors if you would like to improve your Arabic and French reading, writing, and speaking skills.
