     Hello

     How are you doing today? This is Sean Canfield. I saw your contact at the SUNY at Geneseo, Department of Physics under the Directory's portal. 
     I seek a private introductory physics tutor for my Daughter. I would like to know if you have a STUDENT/TUTOR available for the job.

     As you will be unable to tutor her owing to your BUSY SCHEDULE/STATUS, you can RECOMMEND one of your STUDENT(s) who is capable of tutoring. 

     Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the tutoring could be done remotely. This depends on the tutor's directive.

     Looking forward to hearing from you.

     Best regards,

     Sean
