The Osiris Club aims for members to share a significant, beloved interest with others in a relaxed way.  The wonderful thing is that everyone in the Osiris Club loves ancient Egypt as much as you do!

We have a new topic each month that you'll know about before the upcoming meeting.  For about 40 minutes, we go over that topic in one or more ways: discussion, video, artwork, photography, storytelling, demonstration, "show-and-tell" and any other ways you can think of. The rest of the time we talk about whatever comes to our minds about ancient Egypt.  

PLEASE NOTE:  

This class meets on the first Thursday of the month.  Please message me with questions or suggestions for topics.

This particular club is limited to four people. But contact me about starting another club group and I'll set it up.

I encourage out-of-club messaging about ideas to the teacher (me).  During the meeting, if someone asks a question we don't know about, we can research it on the spot!  How exciting is that?

How I Teach: 

With the Club and other general classes, I’m happy to hear questions and comments during the presentation--not only after class. 
Other features of my teaching style and philosophy:

√ Classes with only 4 students.
√ Lots of student interaction.
√ Dramatic Keynote (like PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations and photos to enhance learning.
√ Clips of videos to increase the understanding and enjoyment of the class content.
√ The display of my collection's AUTHENTIC ANTIQUITIES used by ancient Egyptians.

I encourage kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs. I love it when kids laugh. After the class, I message parents/caretakers to inform them how their student did, 
and I send extra files for their interest. 

CLASS PRICE includes (in addition to the scheduled class):

1. Welcome message to both the student and enroller.
2. Quiz (actually, a learning tool) as a pre-lesson activity.
3. Personalized post-class message to the student and enroller, detailing how the learner did in class and any recommendations.
4. Availability to answer a student's questions (by message) after class.

This class has been rated a "Top Ancient Egyptian Class" on Outschool.
