A mathematics tutor for Yakubu, 12, who's falling behind
Online or in-person tutoring in mathematics for a bright student in Ikeja.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,102 views
My son, Yakubu, is 12 and in Year 10. Yakubu loves school but mathematics has been a struggle since the school was closed during the strikes. The SAT 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 Ikeja or online, for about sixteen weeks.
Yakubu 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 mathematics, you could change the course of Yakubu's year.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Fatima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
you're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Joliet.
Wishing you the best, Fatima. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Puebla so I could bring a meal. Love from Asaba!
