Volunteer tutor needed: computer science for a motivated student in Auckland
Online or in-person tutoring in computer science for a bright student in Auckland.
🇳🇿 New Zealand1,374 views
My niece, Marilyn, is 17 and in Year 10. Marilyn loves school but computer science has been a struggle since the school was closed during the floods. The board exam is in October.
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 Auckland or online, for about twelve weeks.
Marilyn 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 Marilyn's year.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you, Quinn. Hope this works out for you. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck, Quinn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Buenos Aires.
Wishing you the best, Quinn. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
this could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Stay strong, Quinn. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
sending love, Quinn. Study hard! My husband and I read this together. Love from Bakersfield.
Take care, Quinn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
hope things get better soon, Quinn. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Quinn. 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. Greetings from Valencia
Take care, Quinn. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Thinking of you, Quinn. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Thanks for sharing this, Quinn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Auckland.
