I taught with Harvard University's Dept. of Classics for 6 years as a Head Teaching Fellow. I was privileged to teach the popular and historic The Rome of Augustus for which I won awards for distinction in teaching each semester I taught with Harvard. I also have experience teaching Middle Ages Literature, Art, and History, Ancient Egyptian History, World History: Neolithic to 1500s, and Roman Games (Gladiators). In addition to working on the Giza Project with Boston's Museum of Fine Arts and with Harvard for 3 years- a 150 year old joint archaeological project focused on the Giza Pyramids and the surrounding necropolis Now, I homeschool my son and I greatly enjoy adapting my knowledge and classes designed for university level to each of his grade levels
