...middle school and high school students in several math and science disciplines through the National Society of High School Scholars. I earned a dual bachelor's degree in ecology and contemporary dance performance, while continuing to mentor and assist my peers.

...(European, Asian). My main focus is to help students see connections and forces behind historical events -- in short the "Big Picture" -- while also understanding the importance of specific events and people. I frequently conduct one on one sessions with students, which I enjoy greatly, to help them see these points and connections, and to adopt strategies for reading and understanding text books, and strategies to incorporate the 'dreaded dates' into the process.

...reluctant readers. Previous to becoming a librarian I gave private art lessons and did art parties for children for a number of years. I enjoy working with people and helping them find their inner creativity. It's about the love of art, then the skills will get there. I am always learning new things. For me it is so important for kids to learn how to LOVE reading rather than focus on what they are reading.
