Recommendation
Do
Ask - you may find someone easily - remember that, unless
you ask, people will not know that you are looking.
Your
Local Reference Library
Some local reference libraries keep a dedicated
file on tutors who have visited the library and left literature
of some sort. Some libraries allow tutors to leave leaflets
on information tables or notice boards. Some authorities
have a section for tutors on their computer information
networks. Also, there is often a list of local associations,
clubs and societies kept by local reference libraries.
