Our computational linguistics tutors play an integral role in supporting and engaging current and prospective linguistics students. Computational linguistics tutors lead one-on-one tutoring sessions for students who are studying the same or similar material in the areas of C++ and Python programming, machine learning, and human computer interaction. The computational linguistics tutor is not an IA and won’t have access to the auto-grader, but can provide support with conceptual questions, study strategies, and more for classes such as LING 123, 125, 321, 341, 343, 441, 442 and 445.
In-person tutoring is available in 471 Lorch Hall on Mondays & Tuesdays from 5:30pm-7:30pm.
Meet Angela Li!
Linguistics Tutor for 2025-2026
- Students can ask Angela about - Upper-level CS coursework, my perspective as a Computer Science Engineering major minoring in Linguistics, summer internships, and campus opportunities for professional development related to CS and software engineering/development!
- Why Linguistics - Linguistics gives me a deeper understanding of how language works, and I have had the opportunity to explore applications in NLP across industry and research. Through MIDAS (Michigan Institute of Data and AI in Society), I’ve conducted research focusing on simulating political debates with LLMs, where models converse, critique one another, and reveal insights about persuasion, bias, and discourse.
- Academic Experiences - I’m part of the Multidisciplinary Design Program (MDP), which offers students opportunities to work on both industry and research projects. This past summer, I worked as a Software Engineer Intern at JPMorgan Chase, and I’ll continue remotely with them for one more semester. I also served as a Project Lead on the Michigan Data Science Team (MDST), where I grew both professionally and personally. On top of that, I was an Instructional Aide for EECS 398: Practical Data Science, a special topics course I found relevant in my academics and industry!
- Hopes after graduation - I plan to pursue graduate school while continuing to explore different industries within software development to see where I can make the most impact.
- More about Angela - I have 8 cats at home, love to knit (you’ll often find me at Spun in Ann Arbor), and enjoy making my own espresso and matcha drinks. I also love road trips and have driven up and down the West Coast and East Coast from Michigan!
Meet Hillary Luan!
Linguistics Tutor for 2025-2026
- Students can ask Hillary about - Graduate School Applications. Navigating college as a student in cognitive science on the computation and cognition track and double majoring in Computer Science. Also, ask me about studying abroad!
- Why CogSci - I chose cognitive science because of its interdisciplinary nature with multiple subjects I had interest in, including psychology, computer science, and linguistics. I also enjoy the well-rounded courses that cognitive science adds to my schedule.
- Academic Experiences - I am currently head Graduate Student Instructor for COGSCI 200. I am a member of Phi Sigma Rho, an engineering sorority. I also previously was an EECS 203 IA and I currently work a co-op software engineering internship where I get to learn about industry practices.
- Hopes after graduation - To travel more often and work in the field of Software Engineering.
- More about Hillary - I enjoy performing flow arts as part of Photonix, a performance flow arts group specializing in glow sticks or other light-up props. I also love pop music, EDM, farmer's markets, travelling, and food!
