SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco high school student who saw a great need in her Chinatown community during a time of distance learning has launched a tutoring center to help struggling students.
English originally brought her idea to the non-profit Charity Cultural Services Center on Commerical Street. She recruited a few friends to help tutor and, once word spread about the free services, the students kept coming. "I started at 15. It seems really difficult in the world just for young adults to get involved -- teenagers to get involved with problems and solve problems and just work to solve problems that they see in the world," English said."So I think it's taught me that if I see an issue and I'm passionate about an issue I can dive right in. I should dive right in."
CCSC made contact with the Wah Ying Social Club building owner across the street when the tutoring center started to grow. The owner provided space at no cost when it's not in use by the Chung Ngai Dance Troup and International Wing Tsun Association North America.
