On 11/8, 11/15, 11/22, and 11/29, Brian Kuang from the East Cobb Branch participated in the English Tutoring Program and tutored for 4 hours (1 hour each session).
This program’s goal is to provide English guidance to the elderly who do not know much English. Volunteers are needed for 1 on 1 tutoring sessions. By helping these elderly improve their English, the goal is to make communication smoother and life easier for them.
The tutoring sessions were done over FaceTime. During the sessions, there weren’t any issues encountered. I taught by helping the elder read through example daily conversations. We would read sentences one by one, and I would correct any mispronunciations she had. After that, I would help her review 100 practice questions for the American citizenship test. Each time we went over 25 questions, and I would randomly pick and choose which ones to ask.
I felt that the session was relatively successful and I don’t think anything went wrong, and the feedback I’ve received has been positive. I have been able to notice lots of improvements as well. It feels nice to be able to help an elder.
Attendance: Emily Sun (4 hours), Terrence Xia (3 hours), Brian Kuang (4 hours), Jonathan Bao(3 hours)
