English writing help for Tarık, preparing for the GCSE exam
Looking for a patient English writing tutor, 1 hours a week, for 11 weeks.
🇹🇷 Üsküdar, Istanbul, Türkiye852 views
My younger brother, Tarık, is 16 and in Grade 11. Tarık loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the strikes. The GCSE 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 Üsküdar or online, for about twelve weeks.
Tarık 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 Tarık's year.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Burcu. I hope things turn around soon. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Üsküdar
