Volunteer tutor needed: English writing for a motivated student in Cartagena

Rafael is working hard on English writing but can't afford a tutor; 2 hours a week until the GCSE would help enormously.

My son, Rafael, is 16 and in Grade 11. Rafael loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the strikes. The GCSE exam is in June. 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 Cartagena or online, for about twenty weeks. Rafael 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 Rafael's year. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
