On 11/19/2023, Aylus Great Neck began to tutor a student who had difficulty learning the English language.
To make this process as natural as possible, it was decided that we would help him in a park while playing some basketball. Our volunteers Steven Ni , Ruiqi Liu, and Junbo Hu arrived at 9AM at Wyngate Park, and our student arrived shortly after.
Unfortunately, since we did not know the student at all, we needed to communicate with him in his native language for the time being to know him better.
We started with shooting some free throws with him, encouraging but never forcing him to play. When the court got occupied by some other people, we sat down with the student and struck up a conversation as a sort of icebreaker, in the hopes that we could get to know him and help him better in later sessions.
With that, our 1 hour 30 minute session was up, and we said goodbye and left.
Hours:
Steven Ni – 1.5 hours
Ruiqi Liu – 1.5 hours
Junbo Hu – 1.5 hours
