Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5

Alot can happen in 50 years! The 1900s are famous because this is when Queen Victoria died (1902) and we usher in the Edwardian period. We have the First World War, and during this time many things develop in London. Famous London landmarks like The Ritz Hotel and The Mall are built. London hosts the Olympics, television and air travel are perfected! Transportation evolves with double decker buses and the underground. Women get the right to vote and a new King & Queen are on the thrown when the King gives it up to marry an American lady! There's so much to learn -- let's get started! 

Perfect for students without any background knowledge, geared to make history fun and interesting! Making the topic age-appropriate, the students will learn lots of facts, and are encouraged to take notes or make drawings to reinforce learning. At the end, a pop quiz will help students recall the facts they have learned in the class. The instructor will teach using discussion, slides, images and an interactive map. Students are encouraged to ask questions along the way.

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!
