A physics tutor for Gerardo, 14, who's falling behind
Gerardo is working hard on physics but can't afford a tutor; 2 hours a week until the university entrance would help enormously.

My son, Gerardo, is 14 and in Form 3. Gerardo loves school but physics has been a struggle since the school was closed during the floods. The university entrance exam is in July.
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 Medellín or online, for about ten weeks.
Gerardo 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 physics, you could change the course of Gerardo's year.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
Keep going. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
