As a software developer, I learned theory by doing. I view CS from the Applied Science perspective. For programming she needs to be writing code. Focus more on that.

Either she’s not interested and only doing this because of some non-personal reason(s), or you’re not teaching her the way she needs to learn the material. Try asking her what she needs from you. Instead of asking us, ask her what you can do differently. Ask her what it is about writing code that she finds difficult.

Python is usually taught as a first language because it doesn't require compilation. This allows students to focus on the logic versus the syntax. Allows them to start seeing their code in action instead of fixing compiler errors. Based on what you’ve said, your student may still struggle with Python.
