2,000 years of history -- London has alot to offer! Let's break in down into bitesize pieces, and in this one-time class we will start with a focus on London history from 1800-1899. During this century, there are key battles that produce heroes such as Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. There are inventions such as photography and the metropolitan police. Slavery is abolished, children no longer have to work in factories, and Queen Victoria comes to the throne. Perfect for students without any background knowledge, geared to make history fun and interesting! In addition to lots of facts, students are encouraged to take notes or make drawings to reinforce learning. During the class, students will be asked to discuss what they have learned and complete a handout with answers. The instructor will teach using discussion, slides, images and an interactive map. Students are encouraged to ask questions along the way.
Learning Goals
* Students will learn about two important battles that produced heroes Lord Nelson and Duke of Wellington

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a professional tour guide in London and love going around the city (sometimes dressed in costume!) and teaching visitors about the fascinating history. With over 2000 years of events, there is plenty to learn! My signature tour is where I dress like a singing nanny from the Edwardian period and teach about suffragettes and chimney sweeps!
If you have been dreaming of visiting London, but want to get a head start on learning more about this city and the history here.... my classes are perfect for you.
I believe that you can learn and have fun at the same time. No subject is too boring, and I hope you will find my classes to be entertaining, engaging and educational. During class, I often change costumes to help keep the learners engaged and I encourage dressing up in class!Reviews
