English writing help for Travis, preparing for the school-leaving exam

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

My nephew, Travis, is 15 and in Year 10. Travis loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The school-leaving 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 one or two hours a week, in person in Yonkers or online, for about twelve weeks. Travis 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 Travis's year. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
