On Saturday, November 3rd, the East Cobb Branch held tutoring sessions at the East Cobb Library. Two tutors, Susanna Huang, and Rachel Li, were available to help elementary and middle school students understand subjects to a greater extent and become more confident in academics.
At the beginning of these sessions, the students came in with spelling difficulties and math questions ranging from simple addition to finding radicals and absolute value. They demonstrated comprehension of the subjects, but strived for more practice with application and higher-level thinking. The tutors went through these subjects step-by-step with patience.
One student who came for help today was Preston, an 8th grader from Dodgen Middle School. Preston was born with fluid in his ears, which the doctors didn’t find it until much later into his development. During that time, he was unable to hear clearly and couldn’t learn how to speak with the other children. After the fluid was drained from his ears, he was given medication to help them grow normally. Although he still struggles with pronunciation, Preston has the willingness and persistence to learn, despite the setbacks he has endured in his early learning experience.
The East Cobb Branch of AYLUS holds tutoring session in East Cobb Library every Saturday for elementary and middle school students. These sessions offer opportunities for those in the East Cobb area to gain more knowledge in the subjects they’re working on in school. Interactions between students and tutors are both academically engaging and personable.
