English writing help for Nomsa, preparing for the GCSE exam
Looking for a patient English writing tutor, 1 hours a week, for 23 weeks.

My niece, Nomsa, is 14 and in Form 3. Nomsa loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the strikes. The GCSE exam is in November.
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 Pretoria or online, for about sixteen weeks.
Nomsa 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 Nomsa's year.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Philadelphia but we're thinking of you. Love from Philadelphia
Hope it all works out, Ahmed. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Kharkiv this morning. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Ahmed. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
