In collaboration with Speak City Heights, The AjA Project asked students at Crawford High School to use their cameras to explore what most affects their health at school. Ismahan, 18, chose to draw attention to the importance of after-school tutors, particularly for students learning English as a second language.
“The afterschool tutor is very important because they help the newcomer to learn English,” she said.
While Ismahan said she is grateful for the afterschool tutoring program at Crawford, she also feels that more tutors are still needed. If she could change something at Crawford, she would hire more after-school tutors to help students who are struggling and learning English for the first time.
“This is afterschool tutor class in Crawford High School. Tutor help us to do our homework in Crawford High School.” -Ismahan
“There are two tutor that are helping the student with there homework and there are many student in the afterschool tutor program. They are more student than tutor which is not enough.” -Ismahan
“This student is getting help from afterschool tutor program and he is a newcomer. Afterschool tutor is very important because they help the newcomer to learn English.” -Ismahan
“This is Ms. Kylie in the afterschool program she help her class. There are too many student in class. We need more tutor at Crawford.” -Ismahan
