- Book with Alyssa VedHello! My name is Alyssa and I am a sophomore studying Psychology. I have taken ASL for 5 years and I am very passionate about the language. I took ASL 102 and 103 my freshman year, so I understand the workload and types of assignments that are given. Fun fact: I interpreted gospel readings and songs at my high school’s cathedral! If you have any questions or need assistance on your ASL learning journey, feel free to stop by during my designated coaching hours or make an appointment with me! I’m always happy to help.

Japanese Language Coach - Book with Laurice AlDaoudMarHabaa! My name is Laurice AlDaoud and I am a junior at LUC majoring in Biomedical Engineering in the pre-med track and minoring in Arabic. I was raised in Fuheis a small town in Jordan and moved to Chicago to continue my studies. I had become familiar with Arabic, through my studies during school as well as speaking it with my social circle and exposure to social media. Arabic may be regarded as one of the hardest languages to learn at an older age, but hopefully during these classes I will help you with your grammar, pronunciation, and basic communication skills. I am available from 1pm till 3pm twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays; don't hesitate to contact me then with any concerns and questions. Thank you and I hope this will be a fruitful course for both you and I. Thanks!

Lizeth Vargas
Arabic Language Coach
My name is Lizeth (ليسِت), and I am a 4th year student here at Loyola majoring in Global Studies and Minoring in Arabic + Criminal Justice & Criminology. I grew up here in Chicago, immersed in a community that reflects my Mexican heritage, as both of my parents are immigrants. Thus, I grew up speaking Spanish and English fluently. My Arabic journey started here at Loyola through the teaching and guidance of ustaadha sawsan (أُسْتاذة سَوسَن) and with the help of my wonderful Arabic classmates who made studying and learning Arabic the most special and transformative experience. My love for the language only continues to grow through every tutoring session I give, every poem I study with ustaadha, and every Arabic literature class I take here at Loyola. I hope to share not only what I have learned but also my love for the language in hopes of helping other students and engaging them to learn such a beautiful and expressive language 'in shaa' Allah (إن شاء الله) - Book with Natalia BrzozkoWitam! My name is Natalia Brzozko, and I am a senior majoring in Psychology and Criminal Justice, with a minor in Polish Studies. I was born in Chicago, and grew up in the northwest suburbs!

Please don’t hesitate to stop by for some help, or if you just want to practice Polish conversation!
