In November, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) students continued their Education Help Program. Although schools are restarting, some middle school students are still looking for tutoring classes to improve their academic skills in classes like math, science, writing or reading. Because of this, GPA is holding tutoring opportunities in core subjects.
GPA member Sophia Song (11/16, 2 hrs) tutored her student Algebra2 in a local library.
GPA member Catherine Feng (11/15, 2 hrs) tutored another student in reading from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on Sunday (11/14). The student read a book about a girl and a scarf, as well as one about different sounds and how many decibels they are. We went over the pronunciation and meaning of the words he read before discussing the content of the books.
GPA member Annie Miao (11/20, 2 hrs) tutored her student math. In this time’s tutoring session, Annie and her tutored had a review of factoring perfect square trinomials. They also started factoring by completing the square.
GPA members Karen Yang (11/21, 2 hrs) and Kevin Song (11/21, 3 hrs) tutored math: We began with warm up questions with the Pascal Triangle and distributed with that. Most of the class was spent covering this problem; we reviewed it extensively, trying different numbers from the triangle and seeing which ones worked, We’ll see everyone next week!
The program allows GPA members to provide reading, writing, speaking, communication, and more to their students across the country.
