In December, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) students continued their Education Help Program. Although schools are restarting, some middle school students are still looking for tutoring classes to improve their academic skills in classes like math, science, writing or reading. Because of this, GPA is holding tutoring opportunities in core subjects.
GPA members Karen Yang (12/1, 2 hrs) and Kevin Song (12/1, 2 hrs): Today we learned about satire and what that means! We talked about Horatian, Juvenalian and Menippean satire and how satire can be written and demonstrated with irony, wit, etc. We also did writing in the style of The Onion, a satire magazine and students got to share it with others.
GPA member Annie Miao (12/4, 3 hrs): This week, Annie and her tutee had a review of everything they’ve covered so far with factoring perfect trinomials. They also continued to do more problems with completing the square.
More GPA members tutored their students in person or online. Yan Fischer tutored his students each Sunday starting May through November 2021 (2 hrs for each session).
The program allows GPA members to provide reading, writing, speaking, communication, and more to their students across the country.
