The New England Vampire Panic was a 19th century event that impacted parts of New England. This panic was in response to an outbreak of the diseases Tuberculosis. As the disease was not well understood in that time period, the people in New England associated tuberculosis with supernatural causes. People eventually believed that vampires were the source of this outbreak. In this exciting one day class, students will follow the events that lead up to and occurred during this panic. Students will learn about the following topics. - The classical myths associated with Vampires and Vampirism. - The cause and symptoms of Tuberculosis, as well as why this was associated with Vampirism. -The famous cases that spurred this panic and the responses of the local people. Students require no background knowledge to take this class. This class is perfect for students who enjoy an eclectic mix of content. There will be a little history, biology and folklore all mixed together. Through a combination of lecture, images and discussion. I hope to introduce students to this fascinating piece of American history.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Everybody!
My name is Sujit Naidu, and I have always harbored a lifelong passion for science! Some of my favourite topics are Biology, Neuroscience and Psychology. Many of my classes will focus on the different aspects of the human mind and brain. From introductory courses on the brain to more advanced topics like the neuroscience of vision, I will have something for everyone!
With an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto with Majors in Neuroscience and Psychology. I have a strong foundation in the topics i will teach. Aside from my education, I have also coached basketball for boys and girls of different ages. I understand how to teach something while keeping it fun and enjoyable!
I have been in some classes where teachers just lecture at you with little to no engagement. It is very difficult to stay focused and retain information when someone is simply talking at you. My teaching philosophy is it avoid excessive lecturing and focus on creating engagement with students. I pride myself on making topics accessible without simplifying them excessively.
I am also offering 1:1 tutoring and homework help. Please message me if you would like more information!
I also offer private group sessions for any of the classes I offer. If your student is a part of a group and that group would like a private lesson, I can accommodate for that!
