We need a mid-long term commitment (at least 2.5 months) to help our 3 younger kids with their studies (specially Math!)
Mainly we need big help every afternoon to organize our kids daily homework/studies.

You will be free all day up to 3,30 pm when the youngest boy comes home.
The youngest boy (12) goes in Italian school. So you can help him with some simple English, Spanish homework and make sure he completes all the rest of his homework. If no homework are left you can play a board game to help his English or Spanish conversation skills.
The girl (18 years old, high school) needs to practice Math every day.
Nicolò needs some assistance with his Math homework as well
he really needs help to check and organize all his homework at the same time also needs to be encourage to do some of it by himself in order to stimulate some of self organizing skills .
You will be free from Friday evening until Monday at 3,30 pm to travel and visit around.
The main focus for us is to improve our boys' English, Spanish and Math skills and engage them with board games ecc... in order to keep them entertained and not have them always on video games or television.
