Pyramids have inspired wonder, awe and mystery for thousands of years. While the best know pyramids reside at the Giza Plateau in Egypt they are far from the only ones in existence. Ancient pyramids are in fact a world wide phenomenon and cultures from almost every continent on Earth have constructed pyramidal structures throughout history. Together we will explore where all these pyramids came from, who built them and why they were so important to the history of our ancient ancestors. On our journey we will visit: - The Great Pyramid of Giza (Egyptian) - Chichén Itzá (Mayan) - Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor (China) - Ziggurat of Ur (Iraq) - Koh Ker (Cambodia) - Seven Pyramids of Mauritius - Pyramids of Güímar (Tenerife) - Pyramid of Cestius (Rome) ...and a few other special appearances! I'm looking forward to exploring the wonderful world of ancient pyramids with you soon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello there! My name is Sean and I love to teach fun, engaging classes generally centered around history, science, and storytelling! Many of my classes involve some type of activity, story-telling, reading, writing or some other unique assignment (such as map-making!) to help students feel more invested in the material and get excited about learning more each day.
The people I learn the most from and respect the most are those who are truly passionate and engaged with the subjects they love. This is where Outschool shines because no one is forced to teach a class they don't like or teach in a way that isn't interesting to them! I find that when teachers can effectively communicate their passion about subjects to their students everyone is uplifted and comes away having grown smarter and wiser.
With every class my goal is to help your students develop powerful habits that transcend the courses they take with me. Creative thinking, reading comprehension, creative and persuasive writing, pattern recognition and logic are just some of the talents students will develop over the duration of the courses they choose. I can't wait to start working together! See you soon!
