During the month of June 2022, Aylus members offered free summer camps to East Cobb children.
Samuel Lu offered four swimming coaching sessions to elementary age children in the community. The lessons are tailored to the different skill levels of individual student. All the participants made plausible improvements after the instructions.
Albert Zhang held piano tutoring sessions for 2 kids through zoom meetings. The sessions were smooth and successful, and the kids progressed quickly through their pieces. Albert taught them by giving a few suggestions and tips after they played a piece. He would play the whole piece so that they can familiarize themselves with the song. The kids also wanted to learn pieces outside their instructional book. Being able to work on a piece they especially loved made each lesson more engaging and fun.
Albert also held drawing sessions through Zoom meetings. He taught the kids how to draw animals, landscapes, and other subjects that they wanted to learn using basic techniques such as sketching lightly. Along the way, he briefly introduced color theory and explained how to mix colors together. At the end of class, he gave the kids simple drawing challenges and let them request something that they wanted to learn how to draw. The kids were focused and obedient, which also motivated Albert to work harder.
Sean Yan taught three kids, (5th,6th,7th) in the basics of tennis for 1 or 1 1/2 hour each lesson. He first warmed up with rallies for 10 minutes then began teaching basic backhand form. He then reinforced it by feeding balls. After that volleys were taught with the correct footwork and form. During the last 15 minutes he played points with the students.
