Oumar on helping students with math

Oumar writes about his experiences with one group of students

I am going to write about the 3 students who improved their math skills by coming to 217B.

Since the beginning of the school year three African students have come to Project Bridging Cultures regularly to work on their math homework. They are all in the same class and were having difficulty with both the math concepts and in understanding the language that it was explain in – English. I was able to work with them as a small group and explain the lessons to them in both French and English to help them understand the material and improve their English skills. They told their teacher that they had been working with me after school and one day the teacher came to visit our study session. After that she requested that they study with me more often.
