He wants to learn Arabic before his mother dies. She's the online tutor who teaches him. Lessons become conversations. Conversations become more.
The Tutor Session
Noor hires a tutor to help her pass her accountancy exams. She doesn't expect Bilal—young, brilliant, and entirely too distracting—to teach her lessons that have nothing to do with numbers.
The Language Tutor
She's learning Somali to reconnect with her roots. He's the tutor her mother hired—too young, too handsome, and way too patient. When the lessons move from vocabulary to something more physical, she discovers some things don't need translation.
The Tutoring Arrangement
He tutors GCSE students across East London. She's the single mother who hired him for her son—divorced, stressed, and too attractive in her house clothes. When her son passes his exams and leaves for university, she asks him to stay. For a different kind of lesson.

He's failing her class. She offers private tutoring sessions. But the lessons she teaches him have nothing to do with literature—and everything to do with the curves she hides behind her desk.

Screen Time
She tutors Somali kids online—GCSE maths for diaspora families across the UK. He's the single dad who books her for his daughter and keeps finding excuses to join the sessions. The pixels become real when they finally meet.
