During the term break, I decided to make a free tuition for the small kids. I called all the parents from the Malaysian Embassy and told them the plan. I told them that I will do it on Wednesday, 19th October. I told them that I want to help the kids do their homework, not by doing the homework for them but helping them answer the questions that they are not good at.
So, on Wednesday, 7 kids came to my house with all the homework that they had including maths, science, english, and more. I tried to help them as the best as I can, and when I really didn't know how to do it, I would ask my brother to help as well. It was actually really hard for me to help all of them but at the same time and I had a lot of fun with them. I also learned some things that I never knew before in science, which was kind of embarrassing actually but at least I learned something.
After helping them with the homework, I gave them chocolate cookies which I made the night before especially for them. When we were waiting for the parents to pick them up, we played a Malaysian game called "Congkak". They made a lot of noise by playing this games, some of them were cheating and if someone realized they started to shout at me and I would just disqualified the kid and let others play.
I really had a lot of fun by helping and playing with them. They also showed a lot of enthusiasm with doing their homework. I hope that I will have the time and opportunity to do this again with them.
The CAS learning outcomes that I achieved during this activity are :
- I planned and initiated activities as I was the one who planned this activity and I think I did a good job by helping the kids.
- I considered the ethical implications of my actions as I told all the parents about this activity.
