An English writing tutor for James, 17, who's falling behind
Online or in-person tutoring in English writing for a bright student in Newcastle.

My son, James, is 17 and in Year 10. James loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the floods. The board exam is in May.
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 Newcastle or online, for about twenty weeks.
James 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 James's year.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Rowan. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Juiz de Fora.
Sending good thoughts, Rowan. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Newcastle.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. Thinking of Newcastle
