East Cobb Branch Holds Youth Tutoring Program XXIII

Our tutoring programs are held at two Cobb County Libraries. Here are the reports:
    1. At the Switzer Library
On March 23, 2019, two members from the East Cobb Branch of AYLUS went to Switzer Library to tutor kids in grades K – 8. Members of the branch tutored students in subjects such as reading and math.
Despite that there were only 2 students, members worked diligently to teach the students and made sure that students understand the concepts.
The tutors worked with the students on concepts such as multiplication and division, reading comprehension, and many other concepts.
The tutors were very happy to be able to teach the students; they were glad to be able to give help to the students.
    2. At the East Cobb Library

On March 23, 2019, two members from the East Cobb Branch of AYLUS continued Youth Tutoring program at the East Cobb Library. The tutoring lasted two hours and since not all of the students showed up the tutors had more time to explain the concepts to the students.

The tutors used different tactics to teach the students. For example, the tutors would draw out pictures to visualize the problems or they might use real-world examples. The tutors also used different tips so the students may understand the material better.

The tutors were paired one-on-one with each of the students, so kids were able to have direct conversations. A total of 3 students came. Some students brought in homework they didn’t understand, so the tutors read the problem with the students and walk them through the steps of solving these problems.

The East Cobb Branch holds tutoring sessions every Saturday at East Cobb Library, giving an opportunity for kids in the area access to help with their studies. The program gives students a comfortable environment to ask for help in academics. The interaction between tutors and students also makes learning more enjoyable.

Attendance: Cynthia Ruan (2 hours), Kevin Shen (2 hours), David Qu (2 hours) and Eileen Zhang (2 hours)
