## Description

We are seeking specialist tutors to mentor a highly motivated 16-year-old student who has just completed his GCSEs. He is a self-taught technology enthusiast who already runs his own Linux home servers (Debian/Fedora), has set up DNS-level ad blocking (Pi-hole) and a Jellyfin media server, writes software in C (including with the Raylib library), and has basic Python skills.

The goal of these lessons is to channel his existing passion into professionally valuable, career-relevant skills. We are looking for structured, project-based teaching - not passive lectures - building towards recognised certifications and a portfolio of real work.

Lessons will run once per week per subject (60-90 minutes), online with practical assignments set between sessions., Teach a motivated teenage student professional DevOps, Linux administration, and cloud engineering practices, using his existing home-lab setup as the foundation, with a long-term view towards a career in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE work.
