loath: to beloath to do something means to be very unwilling to do something:
i was loath to leave her on her room.
reluctant : to be reluctant to do something means unwilling and therefore slow to do something
she was very reluctant to ask for help

Shannon, it's loath, not loathe. They look similar.

loathe means hate - so you could say "i hate to clean my room."
reluctant is like you're nervous to do something, sometimes because you think something bad might happen. - "i am reluctant to let you borrow my car."

Loath is formaller than reluctant. Both means: unwilling
