On February 21th, 2021, San Diego students of AYLUS organized the 9th online Competition Tutoring for students activity. In this activity, AYLUS volunteers helped younger students practice for upcoming competitions in various subjects.
In almost all of these academic competitions, the level of expertise required to perform well is much higher than that of standard classes in school. Because of this, many students interested in competing struggle to find tutors who can help hone the necessary skills. The lessons will be flexible times based on the schedules of volunteers and students, and be conducted on zoom. Through this event, we hope to help out interested students as well as increase interest in more specialized academic competitions.
Through this activity, AYLUS volunteers were able to teach 18 students several competition-related topics, each one tailored to best prepare the students for specific academic competitions. Each class is has one volunteer teaching many students, with volunteers specifically matched with students. Overall, there were 15 participants in this event.
