We will dive deep into the Mythology of Ancient Egypt, along the way we will learn: - Geography, Music and Basic facts about Ancient Egypt. - What daily life was like for Ancient Egyptians. - The importance of animals in ancient Egypt - Dung Beetles, Cats, Dogs, Crocodiles etc. - The Legend of Isis - The Legend of Ra the Sun God - The 42 laws of Ma'at: the 'divine laws' which Ancient Egyptians were said to live by. This is a very interactive class, with music, video clips and many opportunities for students to share their thoughts. We always start a topic with the Geography and basic facts of a country, such as where it is in the world, and it's culture and environment, before diving into the Legends. After we have read the Legends students are always asked, wether they like the story and what they think the lesson is from the story. My teaching style is fun and communicative, but with substance. I really enjoying hearing my students views and opinions and always make time for this within the class!

Growing up in the UK as a minority, I have always studied the non-mainstream perspectives where-ever I could, meaning in all my degree subjects (Philosophy, History & Psychology), I have thoroughly studied different cultural perspectives, and when teaching ensure all my sources are directly from the culture in question.
I have tutored and home schooled in my degree subjects for ages 4-11, taught in schools in my native country the Gambia, and nannies a (ages 0-11). Often questions around cultural differences or equality issues have come up and I am able to handle them softly, while ensuring the student leaves with the knowledge that equality is important for us all! I have often tutored in Ancient Egyptian Culture (as well as the Empires of Nubia, Kush and Axom!) in real life, and on Outschool!
I am well-traveled, and love to explore new perspectives in my personal life!Reviews
