My nephew, Masud, is 16 and in the final year of school. Masud loves school but computer science has been a struggle since the school was closed during the floods. The board exam is in September. We can't afford a private tutor, and the school's free sessions are full. We're looking for a volunteer who could spend an hour or two a week, in person in Birmingham or online, for about twenty weeks. Masud is polite, hardworking and eager. We have a quiet space and a laptop for online sessions. I'll always be at home for in-person sessions. If you're a teacher, student or professional who feels comfortable in computer science, you could change the course of Masud's year. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
