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

Joseph is working hard on English writing but can't afford a tutor; 2 hours a week until the SAT would help enormously.

My son, Joseph, is 12 and in Grade 11. Joseph loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The SAT exam is in June. 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 Seattle or online, for about ten weeks. Joseph 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 Joseph's year. Glad we found this place.
