Volunteer tutor needed: English writing for a motivated student in Dar es Salaam
Looking for a patient English writing tutor, 1 hours a week, for 8 weeks.
Anywhere in the world830 views
My nephew, Kiprop, is 12 and in the final year of school. Kiprop loves school but English writing has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The school-leaving exam is in January.
We can't afford a private tutor, and the school's free sessions are full. We're looking for a volunteer who could spend an hour or two a week, in person in Dar es Salaam or online, for about sixteen weeks.
Kiprop 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 Kiprop's year.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

This could happen to any of us. I hope January is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Sarah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
You're not alone, Sarah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Houston so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dar es Salaam

So sorry you're going through this, Sarah. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. God bless.

hang in there, Sarah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Hang in there, Sarah. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you
Hang in there, Sarah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Johannesburg.
