Advanced English students Rotha, Cheng, Sreyny, and Sengkry spent one week as peer tutors. The students first took part in a workshop on community leadership. Here, they identified the communities they are a part of as well as their roles and responsibilities within each community. For one week they tutored the beginner English language students on pronunciation, and sentence construction. When asked if she enjoyed tutoring Sreyny replied, “I like tutoring because it is fun and it helps me to have experience and improve my knowledge.” In an evaluation of the tutoring week, the four students showed great interest in taking part in a community service project outside of Aziza’s Place. They will be the first of AP students to take part in an upcoming pilot program that connects the children to their communities. It will focus on leadership and community service learning.
