About

Please don't be alarmed by the really long title of this series! This series is essentially for a book club. We'll be talking about books, films, comics, and more. You all can share all that you like! We can have fun debates and conversations about common tropes and ideas we see in the media. Please do not stop yourself from joining if you don't like books! Maybe you just don't like reading but I'm sure this club can allow you to take a greater interest in books. Even if you don't like books, we can look at many literary and non-literary texts like films, comics, mangas and more! Hey guys, I think I'll stick to holding one or two sessions a month.

Tutor Qualifications

I read books. I love books. I indulge and hyper-analyze all films and things in popular media!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Feel free to join whenever free! It'd be nice if you could make it to every session but this is largely for fun and for social awareness!

About the Tutors

Hello! I'm a high school student. I enjoy reading fantasy and really any genre of books in my free time. I like looking at paintings and ancient scriptures, sayings and art. STEM subjects are my area of focus, both for learning and teaching. ˚⊱🪷⊰˚

View Arya N's Profile

Hi! My name is Ananya, also spelled Aananya, and I'm a sophomore in high school in the 24-25 school year. I have a lot of hobbies including track and field, reading, environmental activism, debate, coding, STEM competitions, and my mysterious favorite (robotics). I love classic books (they're practically all I read). My favorite is An Old Fashioned Girl. I'm involved in a lot of organizations. One of the ones I'm most active in is a leadership 4-h program for teens. We work on a lot of capstone projects to help our community. I've gotten a world record related to them. We partnered with one of our sponsor companies to have the world's longest envirothon. That leads us into my next hobby, debate. I've been debating for 2 years as of 2024 summer, and I love it. And then there's robotics. I spend a lot of time on that. I'm very involved in my team. I love volunteering.
