I have a PhD in history and am a qualified teacher. I have taught learners from 3 years old to postgraduate level. In my masters degree, I studied a unit on prehistory and how to interpret artefacts. I have attended courses provided by the Iron Age Museum at Butser Ancient Farm to learn more about prehistoric life. I have taught archeology to young learners in UK schools and have had training on how to deliver lessons on the Stone Age, Iron Age and Bronze Age to learners aged 6-11.
