Estudiadero for Everyone

French and English majors can solve questions about grammar, composition, and pronunciation with the help of ad- vanced students.
In 2013, the CASE (Centro de Asesoría Estudiantil) of Modern Languages School opened the student center named Estudi- aderos for the community, especially to benefit those stu- dents taking LM1001 and LM1002 courses. In fact, Montserrat Quirós, tutor for French, pointed out that this initiative has been useful for many students since it has helped them to im- prove their performance in the language.
In the Estudiaderos, students bring questions, come to prac- tice, and get feedback by tutors that usually are on third or fourth year. Stephanie Collado, tutor for English, mentioned, “One of the goals of the Estudiadero is to identify the stu- dents’ weaknesses and tackle them. Even though the student center is mainly intended for first year students in English and French, students of second year and even of other majors can make use this resource since it is considered a campus ser- vice.”
Many other schools have implemented Estudiaderos for cours- es that are particularly challenging for students such as Calcu- lus III or Physics II. This peer-learning based system has proved to be helpful to enhance their academic performance. FELAS (French and English Arts Students) are encouraged and wel- comed to attend the Estudiadero whenever they need it. This semester French majors can attend the Estudiadero on Mon- days and Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in classroom 422, and English majors can come on Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in classroom 153 and on Thursdays in room 422, at same time.
