Tutorials for several languages take place in the language lab (information about which is provided to students at the beginning of the semester). These non-compulsory tutorials are designed to offer students more time to work on their language skills and to do so on an individual basis with a teacher. They provide linguistic one-to-one support in every aspect, for example revising grammatical structures studied in class or improving pronunciation. Training for the IELTS English test is provided by the English language tutors.

If, at the beginning of a semester, a teacher believes a student to have incorrectly self-evaluated and to be studying in a class at the wrong level, the teacher will request a change of level for the student. The teacher is required to communicate this request to the Language Service within the first two weeks of the semester.
