Evening Tutorial &
Acceleration Classes
Don't wait until they fall behind!
Enroll in AYA's tutorial classes and let us
help
them to excel.
Already behind? Lost? No problem.
AYA's approach is the SANKOFA approach. We help you go back and "fetch" the knowledge that you may have missed or may have never been taught. More than that, we help you go back and heal the learning injury that may impair your success.
Acceleration? Why wait? You know that your child
will be expected to master Algebra by the 8th grade, but you don't have to wait.
Expose them to it early in the 6th or 7th grade. Once the fundamentals are down,
you child is ready for Algebra no matter what age!
What about Language Arts? Good communication is
essential. The ditches are all dug, the rails are all laid. The days when we
could
make a living with our hands are all but disappeared for us. What then for our
children? They must have a mastery of this language and many languages. Mastery
to use it to serve themselves and our people.
Great Language Arts =
Higher SAT scores. Have you heard? The new high score for the SAT
is 2400! Many were struggling to get close to 1600. Now the bar has been moved.
Ok, fuss, cuss. It's all warranted for too many reasons. When you're done, let's
get to it. Oppression is oppression. Ours to face and to champion over. So, we
have to get our children prepared. The additional 800 points come mostly
from what's called the "Essay" section. Public and some private schools are
frantic, and are doing a poor job preparing our students to write at 2-page
essay in 25 minutes. What worse? 75% of the 800 points is based on arcane
grammar vocabulary that our schools stopped teaching long ago and that our
children do not speak on a daily basis.
Consequently, even the teachers are unprepared.
What's worse than even that? Teachers and schools who do prepare our children to
"write well" and to "know" the grammar usage vocabulary and mechanics only
prepare them to write well for others. Few of our children know how or are
encouraged to use their good communications skills in service of building or
defending our people.
Tutorial Classes:
All tutorial classes start with an assessment and end with an
assessment.
Clusters of 3-5 students grouped according to skill
work together for greater proficiency of the operations and greater grasp of the
vocabulary of Algebra as well.
Individual tutorial Sessions:
Same care, vigor and African-Centeredness with one-on-one
student-instructor interaction on line. In some limited situations,
body-to-body, face-to-face can be arranged. This is rare; however. We want you
to give our online interactive a try first. Given transportation costs and the
time spent to shuttle students to and from a physical location, Mu Kanda offers
a viable alternative.
Please don't so quickly rule out this on-line medium
or predict that you or your child won't respond to us through it. Notice, I
said through it. Because, each student is interacting with a live caring African
instructor
- Who loves
him/herself
- Who is consciously on
their re-Africanization and wound-healing
quest
- Who loves our youth and
our people
- Who is competent in the
subject matter they are teaching
- Who is a part of a
growing family of educators learning how to embrace their African-ness and
educational excellence
