Oh, wait. You have a dangling modifier, so it looks like you are saying the tutor is for the mom when it's actually for the kid. Got it.

Let me know if you need any other sentence structure help.

Sincerely,

English teacher on his lunch break for 10 more minutes.

P.S. That letter is adorable and, absent a few punctuation errors, has an incredible voice.
