I'm Imran, 18, in Year 12. My parents work long hours and didn't go to university, so there's no one at home who can help me understand applications, deadlines or financial aid. I'd like to study civil engineering.
I have a distinction average, I volunteer at my mosque and I have a draft of my personal statement. What I need is someone to read my essays, tell me honestly what's weak, and explain how scholarships work.
I'm looking for an hour a week until December. We can do it by video from anywhere. My mother will be at home during every call, and the school counselor knows about this request.
Thanks for reading. It took me a long time to ask.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
You're not alone, Imran. Hope this works out for you. All the best
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Thinking of Soweto
