A request for my AP Physics students.
A parent has asked me if any of my students could help her daughter in mathematics. Ella is an 8th grader at the middle school (in South Pas).
She needs tutoring help. This could be a good opportunity for community service hours. Or, the parent (Erica) is also willing to pay you.
If you are interested in doing this, then email me back with the best email address for you so that the parent can contact you.
