A chemistry tutor for Derek, 15, who's falling behind

Derek is working hard on chemistry but can't afford a tutor; 2 hours a week until the national would help enormously.

My nephew, Derek, is 15 and in Grade 11. Derek loves school but chemistry has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The national exam is in October. We can't afford a private tutor, and the school's free sessions are full. We're looking for a volunteer who could spend one or two hours a week, in person in San Antonio or online, for about twelve weeks. Derek is polite, hardworking and eager. We have a quiet space and a laptop for online sessions. I'll always be at home for in-person sessions. If you're a teacher, student or professional who feels comfortable in chemistry, you could change the course of Derek's year. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

      Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Erie so I could bring a meal
