A computer science tutor for Sophia, 14, who's falling behind
Sophia is working hard on computer science but can't afford a tutor; 2 hours a week until the school-leaving would help enormously.

My younger sister, Sophia, is 14 and in Year 10. Sophia loves school but computer science has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The school-leaving exam is in February.
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 Bakersfield or online, for about sixteen weeks.
Sophia 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 computer science, you could change the course of Sophia's year.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
