An English writing tutor for Devi, 12, who's falling behind

Devi is working hard on English writing but can't afford a tutor; 1 hours a week until the school-leaving would help enormously.

My daughter, Devi, is 12 and in Form 3. Devi loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The school-leaving exam is in August. We can't afford a private tutor, and the school's free sessions are full. We're looking for a volunteer who could spend an hour or two a week, in person in Johannesburg or online, for about sixteen weeks. Devi 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 English writing, you could change the course of Devi's year. Glad we found this place.

        thinking of you. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Edinburgh but we're thinking of you.

        • hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

          • Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Paris
