Agreed.

Not really. We've agreed that we should have a day of tutorials. We're
discussin the structure (paid or unpaid mainly) and the implications
thereof. 

If we go with paid, one of the hurdles is permission from the
college. This can be resolved (only) by asking the college if it's
okay so let's do that (as Navin has agreed to).

If we go with unpaid (as Dhananjay is suggesting), we need volunteers to
take the classes and there might be other issues that haven't occurred
to me yet.
