Kazi, Kaitlyn Pham, Natalie Abraham, Leilani Dexter and Faizah Ahmed, all joined forces to start-up Remote Tutoring in hopes of providing tutoring remotely within their community.

"About two months ago, I couldn't sleep," Kazi said. "And I had this idea of creating a service where I could help children who need help because of these times."
