- Bonjour! My name is Agathe and I’m a senior studying Neuroscience (cognitive and behavioral) at Loyola. I was born in Paris and grew up in a French environment where we would only speak French. I learned English when I was three. I love music, poetry, going out with friends, and exploring the city. I would love to exchange with you on speaking French and French culture as well as being a part of your journey to learn french. Merci!

- Hello! 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.

- Hi, I’m Ben! I’m a junior at Loyola, double majoring in Economics and Information Systems. I spent my whole life in Germany before moving to the US for school. From my experience, the best way to pick up a language is by talking with native speakers. Whether you’re new to learning German or have been at it for years, I’m excited to chat and help you out!

Japanese Language Coach - MarHabaa! 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. I grew up here in Chicago in a community reflective of my ethnic background. Both my parents are Mexican Immigrants and thus I grew up speaking both 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 am eternally grateful for ustaadha and all she has done to cultivate engaging and artful Arabic lessons and giving me this opportunity. I hope to share not only what I have learned but my love for the language in hopes to help other students and engage them to learn such a beautiful and expressive language, in shaa Allah (إن شاء الله) - Witam! 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! Polish was my first language, and I went to Polish school from kindergarten through matura. I am so excited to be able to share the Polish culture and help with all aspects of the Polish language, like grammar, reading, and pronunciation! Please don’t hesitate to stop by for some help, or if you just want to practice Polish conversation!
