A mathematics tutor for Collins, 16, who's falling behind
Online or in-person tutoring in mathematics for a bright student in Kampala.

My younger brother, Collins, is 16 and in the final year of school. Collins loves school but mathematics has been a struggle since the school was closed during the strikes. The school-leaving exam is in October.
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 Kampala or online, for about twelve weeks.
Collins 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 mathematics, you could change the course of Collins's year.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Atieno. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Study hard! Wish I lived closer to Lucknow so I could bring a meal. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Atieno. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Lucknow.
Sending strength. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update
Best of luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Kampala.
