Subject: Private Tutor Needed
Hello,
My name is Stephen Schindler. I came across your email on the University of Virginia, Department of Proto-European Languages Directory. I'm looking for a private tutor for my daughter. She is 17 years old.
I understand that you might not have time for tutoring due to your position in the department and the consequent busy schedule. If that's the case, I'd appreciate it if you could help put me in contact with a person(s) who might be interested.
The lesson would be held online over Zoom or a similar platform.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
Stephen
