a teacher with an inner algorithm

Reading is my passion. As a high school teacher, I saw that many of my students shared the same passion (even if they didn’t know it yet), so I started Book Talks at the high school where I teach. The point was not to preach about the joy of reading but to find a way to bring all teenagers into the discussion, including those who were not ‘by nature’ readers or at least didn’t see themselves as such. What started off as a small group eventually grew to encompass many students who were all excited by a communal conversation about books.

I take into account people’s different personalities and tastes that lead to distinctive criteria for choosing the right book.
