Hey there! My name is Abdubadie Qari (you can call me 鈥淎bdul鈥�, for short), and I am a graduate student of linguistics here at the Department of World Languages. I am currently enrolled in the Applied Linguistics MA program, and I am deeply interested in studying languages and understanding the colorful meanings embedded within them. I received my Bachelor鈥檚 in the English Language from King Abdul-Aziz University in Saudi Arabia before coming to Tampa and continuing my Master鈥檚 at 木瓜视频.

I am a Saudi Arabian native, born and raised in the city of Jeddah. I began my journey learning about different languages at a young age where English was the primary focus of my learning. Learning Spanish is one of my main interests at the moment, particularly because of its beautiful culture along with its shared history with Arabic.

As expected, I am a native speaker of Arabic, and I hope to use my knowledge of the Arabic language to assist all who want to learn more about my native language and culture. I am also well-versed in various Arabic-speaking cultures from the Middle East. Conversational Arabic, in particular, is one of my biggest strengths along with the beginner and intermediate levels of Arabic.

If you are interested in learning more about Arabic culture and the Arabic language, please feel free to schedule an appointment and I will gladly assist you in your language learning journey!

Hello and welcome! My name is Bismark Peprah Adu, and I am originally from Ghana, West Africa. I earned my bachelor's degree in French Education Studies with a minor in History from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.

In addition, I am an author of French educational materials and a member of the Ghana Association of Writers.

Hello, I鈥檓 Caroline! I am originally from Southern California, but have lived all over the U.S., including New York City and Chicago. I am a first year graduate student studying Applied Linguistics here at 木瓜视频. I began hearing Latin American (Mexican) Spanish spoken by my Mother and Abuelita as a kid, which inspired my great love of language. I continued to work with Spanish into undergrad, while obtaining a BA in Theater. I have also casually studied German, Russian, and Japanese, and will be working to gain fluency in Korean during my time as a grad student. I aspire to one day perform literary translation between English, Spanish, and Korean.

As a new tutor, I am excited to work with beginning level Spanish students, and share the language learning tools I have found most effective throughout my own education.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to schedule a session!

Hi, I鈥檓 Jaime! I completed my Bachelor鈥檚 in Applied Linguistics at 木瓜视频 in 2025, and am currently pursuing my Master鈥檚 in Linguistics: English as a Second Language. Although I鈥檓 a South Florida native, I love being able to call 木瓜视频 鈥渉ome鈥�.

Language learning and teaching is truly my passion, and I hope to share that with you as we work together! I have been a language learner since middle school鈥攈aving studied French, Korean, and Spanish鈥攕o I understand the various challenges and milestones that come with learning a second or foreign language. As a tutor, I seek to create a space where students can feel more confident and in-control of their own learning than they may be able to in a traditional environment. Whether you want to practice a tricky new grammar form or review weeks-old vocabulary, our time together is dedicated to your specific needs, goals, and pace.

Outside of academics, I love dancing, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors. I truly believe that language learning can be much more about curiosity and persistence than memorizing rules, and I鈥檓 excited to help you discover what works best for you. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey here at 木瓜视频!

Hello! My name is Josh Kennedy, and I received my Bachelor鈥檚 here at 木瓜视频 in Psychology and Applied Linguistics in 2020. I loved it so much that I鈥檝e returned to get my Master鈥檚 in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English. I aspire to work overseas one day and teach English and become fluent in at least one other language.

Language learning is something I am passionate about, and as your tutor I hope I can help instill some of that same passion. I鈥檝e been studying French since I was in high school and continued at the university level. As an avid language learner myself, I understand that the process can be frustrating. I will strive to accommodate whatever your immediate needs may be with French. I鈥檒l be happy to go over grammatical concepts with you, or even provide a more relaxed environment to practice your speaking and pronunciation. It鈥檚 all dependent your situation. I recommend letting me know ahead of time what you would like to possibly cover when you make an appointment, that way I can gather some relevant materials to help you.

Japanese is another language that I really enjoy and, outside of language learning, some other hobbies of mine are going to the gym, traveling/road trips, and martial arts. I love trying new foods and going out to do things like karaoke or see live music as well. 

If you鈥檙e interested in advancing your French skills, please do not hesitate to book with me. Hope to see you soon!
