Global Student Success
Global Student Success is committed to fostering the acculturation of international students to the Northeastern community, and promoting internationalization across the institution. We support international students through cross-cultural, linguistic, and academic support services. We also partner with faculty, staff, and administrators to integrate global dimensions and cross-cultural understanding into the Northeastern experience.
Services
International Tutoring Center – Tutors provide high-quality ESL writing instruction and tutoring for international students who need assistance with papers, assignments, TOEFL writing, and research projects. Students can meet one-on-one with an ESL tutor for 50-minute appointments.
Language and Culture Workshops – The language workshops are for international students looking to improve their reading, writing, and listening skills. The culture workshops help international students understand American culture better and operate more successfully as university students in the U.S.
Volunteer Team Leader (VTL) Program – Students provide community service while strengthening their leadership skills, building résumé experience, and improving their English skills.
Speaking English Q&A Workshops – Students can bring questions about speaking English and get answers, feedback, and practice with pronunciation, idioms, and slang. No appointment or registration is needed for these workshops.
Listening & Speaking Classes – These classes provide listening and speaking practice for students to improve their pronunciation, listening and speaking skills. Each class (general practice and business case) meets two times a week during the CPS Quarter. Students must register; classes do not carry academic credit.
Conversation Reading Group – International students will be paired with domestic students to read small articles, current events, or interesting happenings and then participate in facilitated conversations with each other.
Advising – Student Support Specialists (SSS) work with international students in the American Classroom, Global Pathways, and Global Classroom programs, providing academic and extracurricular support.
