Hilo to all NY tutors! Recently, the peer tutoring committee has met the teacher IC of Yang Zheng Primary School. She informed us that the number of primary school students who wish to sign up for this peer tutoring session has been increasingly tremendously. She also reflected that the rise in the number of students is partly because some of them are unable to afford private tuition, which is expensive. Thus, the committee sincerely hopes that you will continue to participate in this meaningful activity if you have the time. We look forward for your participation and assistance! :)
