As the largest and second oldest member of UCLA's Community Service Commission (CSC), AATP has been at the forefront of the movement to meet the pressing educational needs of the immigrant youth population of the Chinatown community. Annually, AATP has a pool of approximately 200 tutors from UCLA, USC, and Occidental College who provide tutorial and mentoring services every Saturday morning to the students of Castelar Elementary. Although the majority of the community we serve are of Chinese ancestry, our tutors hail from all corners of the world. The diversity they bring to the program greatly enhances our efforts to instill multi-cultural awareness and tolerance into our children. AATP welcomes anyone who is dedicated and loves kids to join. We guarantee this to be a truly rewarding experience not only for your tutee, but for yourself as well. What makes AATP so successful is the strong bond every tutor forges with his/her tutee. The experiences shared last a lifetime. AATP is also a wonderful way to make new friends while serving your community. As a tutor, you will be your tutee?s teacher and educational resource every Saturday. When he/she has a question regarding a math problem or how to read a particular sentence in the book, he/she will expect you to help them arrive at the answer. However, your tutee will not be the only one engaged in active learning, for you will be gaining knowledge about yourself at the same time. As a mentor (Big brother or Big sister), you will serve as a role model for your tutee, someone to look up to and seek advice from. Such a special relationship spans a lifetime. The tender love and care you show your tutee will surely be a good influence and encourage them to excel and succeed. We meet Saturday 10:00AM-12:00PM @ Lot 32 or Sproul.
