Hello! I’m Sondra Rapoport, your friendly neighborhood Roman Historian. I taught with Harvard University's Dept. of Classics for 6 years as a Head Teaching Fellow. I taught The Rome of Augustus and Roman Games and won awards and distinctions in teaching each semester. I also taught History of Ancient Egypt at Tufts University and worked for years on the Giza Project. (This project catalogues, translates, and researches the 150 years of archaeological discovery around the Great Pyramids).  Now, I homeschool my son and I greatly enjoy adapting my knowledge and classes - designed for university level - to each of his grade levels. 

We use my vast catalogue of photographs from my travels and research in Italy and Egypt, as well as occasional passages from Virgil, Ovid, Catullus, etc. (which I will provide).
