A French tutor for Rolando, 16, who's falling behind

Rolando is working hard on French but can't afford a tutor; 1 hours a week until the national would help enormously.

My son, Rolando, is 16 and in Grade 11. Rolando loves school but French has been a struggle since the school was closed during the floods. The national exam is in April. 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 Davao City or online, for about twelve weeks. Rolando 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 French, you could change the course of Rolando's year. Glad we found this place.

                  Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
