I have always had a passion for the Spanish language; it helps me stay connected to my roots and my family. Outside of academics, I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on walks, and spending time with my nephew. I look forward to being a tutor because I love witnessing when a concept clicks for a student, and it becomes fun and easy instead of difficult and unengaging. My goal is to help students succeed in their courses and develop a genuine interest and confidence in the subject.

Julia Z.
German Tutor

Hello! My name is Julia, and I am originally from Silesia, Poland. For those of you who don’t know the history of Silesia, I highly encourage you to Google it. This is why I was actually raised speaking more German than Polish. :) When I was 8 years old I decided to become a filmmaker one day and the process of me becoming one still lasts till this day so I am staying positive and proud about it! I enjoy watching soccer and am a fan of FC Bayern Munich. I am a huge cat person and love watching cat videos to destress. At LMU I am a German tutor which makes me super proud and happy as I love the people at the ARC and the ones that come to visit me during tutoring sessions.

Oke (Bob) G.
French Tutor

Hey, fellow students, my name is Bob Okê, majoring in Film production. Okê means "mountain" in Yoruba. Probably the mountain my great great-grandpawas looking at when in the XIX-th century he migrated from Nigeria to Benin. I love music and you can't beat me in an improvised dance. Benin was a French speaking colony. "Bienvenue" to my tutoring sessions to have fun in French, to speak it, and to dive in the "Francophonie" culture.
