💥 For more scheduled classes, please scroll down to “Show Alternative Times. 💥 You may not know much about them, but the people named the Black Egyptians, who lived in ancient Nubia (now modern Sudan), built a proud and vital culture that rivaled ancient Egypt. They had pharaohs, built grand pyramids and temples, and even had a one-eyed queen who successfully led her troops against the Romans. We'll cover: • The pyramids of Nubia: how many, what they looked like and the differences between the Nubian and Egyptian pyramid complexes. • The gods and goddesses of Nubia. • The land of the greatest archers in the world. • The Nubians as slaves in ancient Egypt. • When the Nubians ruled ancient Egypt for over 100 years. • The invention of Nubian writing. • What Nubia (Sudan) is like today. How I Teach: - Classes with only four students. - Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations, maps and photos of ancient artwork. - Animated lecture and discussion. - The showing of genuine antiquities from my collection. - The playing of a short video related to the subject. I interact a lot with learners, encouraging kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs. I love it when kids laugh. After the class, I message parents/caretakers to tell them how their student did, and I include 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. 💥 For more scheduled classes, please scroll down to “Show Alternative Times.”💥 Copyright ©, Ilene Springer, 2024 All rights reserved.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University and a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England. And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.
I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope to see you soon in this class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.
