(A) Required Experience and Class Format: 

This is a mutli-day tutorial addressed to students who already have a background on ancient civilizations, as well as to those who have a special interest in ancient History in general. 
The age range should not discourage younger students to enroll, so occasionally, and based on each student's abilities, I may allow younger students (9 or 10 years old) to join the class.
The number of students is very small (two) in order to have a more fruitful class dialogue and at the same time for me to being able to really focus on the skills of each individual student. However, a class format of up to 4 students is not excluded, upon request.  

(B) Teaching Style and Students Interaction:

In this tutorial I want to bring a different perspective, based on reading and using primary sources (textual and visual), asking research questions, doing close analysis, and thus NOT based on traditional textbook-based methods.
A long term goal can even be the writing of a historical research paper based on broader topics such as those for National History Day, but always focused in the area of my specialty: the ancient world. 
This means that the class will be based on students' good preparation before class, on their class attention and active/dynamic class participation where they will be expected to interact wtih me throughout the entire class for each of our meetings. It is an almost exclusively discussion-based tutorial where students have to come prepared.

(C) Topics to Be Covered, and Class Structure:

The tutorial is broadly based on using primary and secondary sources on any topic related to any aspect of the ancient world (religion-politics-diplomacy-war-economy-society-art-architecture-literature-philosophy-sciences). I am specialized in the ancient Greek and Roman world, but the class material can also include the Mesopotamian civilization, or even take a comparative approach of these three ancient cultures. 
The primary (and occassionally secondary) sources will be related to a main theme that the students, with my help, will try to explore. 
The theme can be something the students or me or all of us together can decide from the beginning of the tutorial. My intention, though, is mostly to follow the students' interests.

In the past months I have taught this class reading primary sources related to the work of the Early Greek Philosophers and their ideas of the creation of the World; ancient historians about the Life of Alexander the Great comparing them critically; relevant passages from Thucydides' History and Aristotle's Politics around the question of human law vs human nature; a variety of Roman and Greek sources referring to Roman society (slaves, freedmen, women, marriage, family, patronage, corruption, ethics, etc); the use of mythology by ancient historians; and many more topics.

Often students had to join the same class in consecutive sections of 10 meetings twice or even more, sometimes multiple times over a year or two to read as many primary sources as possible and discuss them at great length.

Or, the students can pick a work they like to read in full from any literary genre and discipline from ancient Greece, Rome or Mesopotamia, and go through it in great detail with my help, like for example the Odyssey of Homer or the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.
