Volunteer tutor needed: computer science for a motivated student in Richards Bay

Riaan is working hard on computer science but can't afford a tutor; 2 hours a week until the SAT would help enormously.

My son, Riaan, is 14 and in the final year of school. Riaan loves school but computer science has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The SAT exam is in February. 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 Richards Bay or online, for about twenty weeks. Riaan 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 computer science, you could change the course of Riaan's year. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Keep going, Charlene. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

    • sending strength, Charlene. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      • rooting for you, Charlene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

        • Thinking of you, Charlene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Howrah.

          • Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best

            • As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Coyoacán

              • Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 8 people at work.

                • Thanks for sharing this, Charlene. Hope this works out for you. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

                  • Rooting for you, Charlene. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

                    • Study hard! After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

                      • Hope things get better soon, Charlene. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless

                        • Thinking of you, Charlene. I hope things turn around soon.

                          • Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care!

                            • Sending strength, Charlene. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
