The Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) students continue their Bilingual Tutoring Program in March. The program allows GPA members to provide reading, writing, speaking, math, and communication to their students across the country.
They had conversations over various video calling platforms, such as Zoom or Facetime, with students about topics they are interested in, such as movies, games, and school. Their bilingual tutoring activities included:
GPA member Catherine Feng organized the program (3/14, 2 hrs).
Elizabeth Jia prepared her lesson and taught her students English through reading comprehension for two hours on Saturday, 3/13.
Feiying Qian and Siquan Qiu teamed up to teach their student English through conversations for 2 hours on Saturdays 3/13 and 3/20, from 1:00-3:00 pm.
Ryan Tian taught his student Aishia Chinese for half an hour on Monday, 3/7, from 7:00-7:30 pm. He also tutored for 2 hours on Friday, 3/12, from 4:15 to 6:15 pm, teaching two kids English and Math. He tutored two different kids on Sunday, 3/14, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm, on Math and English.
Anthony F Yang taught his 9 year old student reading and writing for 2 hours on Sundays, 3/7 and 3/14, teaching from 5:30 – 6:15 pm and preparing class materials and lesson plans for 45 minutes.
Zilu Cheng taught her 8 year old student math for 40 minutes on Saturday, 3/13.
GPA members Abigail Bao (3/12, 2 hrs; 3/14, 2 hrs) and Angela Bao (3/12, 2 hrs; 3/14, 2 hrs) taught a few students in the subjects of English reading and writing, focusing on story-telling. In the Friday class, we taught the students about reading comprehension mainly focusing on interpreting text. In the Sunday class, we went over students writing, their progress very impressed us, and we felt proud of them and ourselves at the same time. Through those activities we explore our potentials, reflect on and improve ourselves, and promote the community values and AYLUS at the same time.
