Ancient History tutors near me

I have a Masters degree in Ancient Egyptian Culture from Swansea University. I have worked with some brilliant professors from different Universities and I am passionate about teaching. I have a deep passion for the subject and I believe I can make this subject exciting and interesting to learners. I am a motivator and I believe I am the ideal tutor for university/college students requiring help in the subject to achieve their academic goals.

I am extremely passionate about history. I majored in it at university and have taught it at a high school level. I am very familiar with multiple types of curriculums (NSC, IEB and Cambridge). Is enjoy making the study of history and often like to try new things and do virtual world tours to current historic sites. I enjoy making it an exciting learning experience to assist students in understanding it and possibly getting their own passion for the subject. I strive to uphold that the deeper learning experiences of history is for critical analysis and not merely retainment of knowledge and so I try to assist students in developing their critical analysis skills through the pursuit of history.

I currently take Ancient Cultures and History modules at Stellenbosch University, am an avid reader of historical books and novels and a National Geographic magazine subscriber. I achieved a distinction at university level and am absolutely nuts about this subject!

I teach ancient history at university level, and can cover a broad range of topics relating to the Greeks and Romans, and their wider world. We can look at the ancient world through the eyes of the people alive then, reading their histories, their letters, their public speeches, their graffiti, and combine that with the evidence of archaeology to reconstruct how they lived. If you want to know about Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian empire, women's rights in Sparta, or whether the Trojan War was real, the resistance offered by Berber nations to Roman imperialism in North Africa, why Claudius Pulcher threw the sacred chickens overboard, or how to capture an impregnable citadel thanks to snails, and much more, I am happy to be of assistance.

I am an open-minded, free-thinking individual that enjoys problem solving and helping others achieve their goals. I tutor high school students and volunteer for the Durban & Coast SPCA when the opportunity arises. I take keen interest in current news and the business environment within South Africa and the world. I believe that the key to success is creating a culture of sustainability, especially within the Tourism and Hospitality sector. I am an avid supporter of saving and conserving the environment, being eco-friendly in the way I live and encouraging others to do so. I believe that education is the most important and valuable investment we could make for ourselves and that one should never stop being a student. I wish to pursue a Master’s Degree in Sustainable Tourism or an MBA one day.
