The AYLUS Mclean Branch participated in the first semester of Chinese School tutoring, where our volunteers taught a variety of children from elementary school to middle schoolers.
Volunteering at Chinese School is an amazing way of introducing diversity into the community. Due to the fact that our community is so large and spectacular, there are hundreds maybe even thousands of families who’s primary language is Mandarin. By being volunteers and contributing in teaching children Mandarin while introducing them to a classic summer school environment, students strive in learning this difficult language. This Chinese School that we volunteer with splits their year long learning process into two semesters, in which our volunteers have already contributed to one entire semester and looking forward for the second one.
The following volunteers that participated so far are Sarah Tao (28 hours from 2024-2025 semester and 8 hours from 2023- 2024 spring semester) and Lexin Zhu (6 hours).
