2-4 horas por semana. Homework, designed to take no more than a couple of hours in total per week, will be assigned in the form a source sheet of primary sources from ancient Greek and/or Latin literature in English translation (chosen and distributed by me in advance each week), related to each weeks topic, in order to enrich class discussion, with the purpose of introducing the student in the skill of critical thinking. In addition, the student wil be (optionally) assigned an essay at the end of the course, related to the material covered in the seven classes.Evaluación
I do not believe that a letter grade is meaningful for an one-on-one tutorial. However, as I often do with my courses, which are small classes, I communicate with the parents and the children directly, providing my personal comments, private feedback and an informal assessment.Calificación

(A) Required Experience: This is a one-on-one tutorial addressed to students who have no (or basic) prior knowledge of ancient Greek and/or Roman Republican - Imperial History, but a genuine passion for learning ancient History. (B) Teaching Style and Students Interaction: The learning process of this class is based on a combination of a power-point presentation, a lecture that asks students to participate, class dialogue, questions based on the ongoing lecture, and new ideas based on the participants. There is not one universal solution to teach. Rather I combine techniques to achieve the maximum of my strengths and of my students. Having taught so far young kids, teenagers, University students and mature learners, I know that teachers need to approach students with understanding. After all, such a small class has the advantage of making the combined technique of ppt presentation-lecture-dialogue feasible and efficient. Thanks to Zoom, engaging students and interacting with them is always possible. (C) Topics to Be Covered, and Class Structure: The tutorial is broadly based on using primary and secondary sources on any topic related to ancient Greek and/or Roman History (politics-diplomacy-war-economy-society). I am specialized in the ancient Greek and Roman world, but the class material can also include the Mesopotamian and/or the Egyptian civilization, or even take a comparative approach of these three ancient cultures. However, if the students wish to be profoundly guided through the ancinet world, we can follow through the entire ancient Greek and/or Roman History, from A to Z, in which case students may choose to enroll in this One-on-One tutorial for as many times as they want as we move on historical from one period to the other. The tutorial can also be offered in modern Greek.

In this tutorial the student will be able to appreciate the beauty and importance of the study of history. Having studied myself history at a graduate and postgraduate level, and trained in archaeological excavations, ancient languages (Greek, Latin), and the use of various aspects of ancient material culture (art, architecture, coins etc), I want to bring this full picture to my classes.
The student and me, we will discuss together in class not just about events and personnalities of ancient Greek and/or Roman history, but also about major ancient Greek and/or Roman monuments, art, religion, society, and classical Greek and/or Latin texts in English translation, so as to understand ancient Greek and/or Roman history in its entirety. The epistemological approach according to which History means facts based on reliable primary sources, remains still relevant for me, if not necessary today.
Ancient History means also appreciating ancient cultures, respecting them, learning from their mistakes, and admiring them for their accompishments. History can be also used as a point of reference or a measure of comparison between an ancient pre-modern society and our contemporary post-modern world.
For students who are taking ancient Greek and/or Roman History classes at their school, this class can be used as a supplementary class to refresh their memory, strengthen their knowledge, advance their understading and sharpen their critical thinking.

Orientación para padres
In the ancient Greek and Roman art gods are depicted often (but not always) naked. This being said, any artistic reproduction in ancient art should be expected to show nude gods. I try to use as less as possible, but it is not always within my hands since this is the nature of the ancient Greke and Roman art itself. Since, it is an art that comes from an era where there were no photographs, or videos, the art is found only on painted vases, wall paintings and sculpture. Nudity was never meant to provoke, but to tell to the ancient viewer that gods are not mortal humans and, thus, they do not need clothes. As you may very well understand, I cannot change the history of art, nor my preference as teacher of mythology to show students the original art from ancient times.
