Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Library Tutorial
Youth Library Tutorial (YLT) is a student organization led by Millennium Fellow Yiyang Gao. YLT is dedicated to providing free walk-in weekend tutoring to K-12 students around Baltimore, United States. YLT’s mission is to assist students on reasoning through problems critically and thinking independently. This is accomplished through adopting individualized teaching methods as well as providing a comfortable space to ask questions and complete school assignments. During the Millennium Fellowship period, YLT will host a minimum of 14 events in physical and online (Zoom) settings. These sessions will be one-on-one tutoring sessions. We are aiming to help at least 80 students across the Millennium Fellowship period.
