Free tutoring hours for Pauline: French online or in Lyon

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

My younger sister, Pauline, is 16 and in Year 10. Pauline loves school but French has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The school-leaving exam is in September. 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 Lyon or online, for about twelve weeks. Pauline 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 French, you could change the course of Pauline's year. Thanks for being kind about this.
