Tutor

Dear Dr. Prins,

As I mentioned on the phone today, we are looking for a tutor or teacher for my son, Mark, who is interested in learning more about programming. He is 13-years-old and is homeschooled, so his schedule during the day is fairly flexible. He took a Java class last year and loved it and has also done some ray tracing using POV-Ray. He has been trying to teach himself C++ on and off for a year or so using some books that we have, but he needs some help. He would also love to eventually learn how to use DirectX.

If you have any students in your department who are interested, we would love to hire someone to work with him. We were thinking of someone who could either meet with him at our home (half way between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill near Maple View Dairy) or at a neutral location in town or on campus (library, coffee shop, etc) once a week for an hour or so and who might also be available to answer occasional questions by e-mail during the week. We could either structure the teaching so that he was working through one of the books we have, or if a tutor had a curriculum or text in mind, we would be fine with working with that instead.

Thanks very much for any help you might be able to find for us,
