A computer science tutor for Zoey, 11, who's falling behind
Zoey is working hard on computer science but cannot afford a tutor; 1 hours a week until the SAT would help enormously.

My niece, Zoey, is 11 and in Year 10. Zoey loves school but computer science has been a struggle since the school was closed during the move. The SAT exam is in November.
We can't afford a private tutor, and the school's free sessions are full. We're looking for a volunteer who could spend one or two hours a week, in person in Detroit or online, for about sixteen weeks.
Zoey 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 Zoey's year.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
stay strong, Robert. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Lviv
good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Atlanta but we're thinking of you. All the best!
Stay strong. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
