I am a qualified History teacher from the UK and have taught history to learners from the age of 3 up to Undergraduate level. I have a PhD focusing on British History and have undertaken editing work on postgraduate level Irish history research.
This is a history class that explores a long period in Irish history. There will be mention of death and wars in multiple weeks (see below for specific information). Death, war and violence will not be the main focal point of the classes, but mentioned as a symbol of growing tensions.

In later weeks (from the English Control of Ireland onwards) we will be looking at the division between Catholics and Protestants and policies that were designed to disenfranchise Catholics in Ireland. This will be presented in an age appropriate and unbiased way.

Please ensure that you and your learner are comfortable with mentions of death and religious conflict before signing up to this class.
