Multilingual Learning Support
We offer language-related support to help students develop their ability to navigate between English and other languages that they or others in their home
environment may speak as they work to manage assignments, class experiences, and the living environment at Alverno. Services include arranging extra time for assessments, including licensure
and graduate admissions exams, and providing in-person or online consultations. Questions? Contact CLAS at CLAS@alverno.edu.
Tutoring
Our tutoring support includes peer and professional tutoring, both available drop-in and by-appointment. Our peer tutors are highly successful
students who can assist their peers with a wide variety of academic challenges, providing support in a relaxed and social setting. Our professional tutors specialize in math, writing, test
preparation, communication, planning/organization, and multilingual learning. Questions? For PEER TUTORING, contact Raechel Bowersox (RC 119) Raechel.Bowersox@alverno.edu or (414) 382-6021. For PRO TUTORING, contact ML
