Prehistoric archaeology of the British Isles - 6 lesson course
Prehistoric Archaeology of the British Isles
Delve into the past with local Dr Amber as she introduces you to the prehistory of the British Isles. The course is aimed at anyone who is interested in the archaeology of Britain. It will cover 500,000 years of prehistory from the Palaeolithic to the Iron age, providing you with a grounding in British prehistoric archaeology and the changing ways of life over this vast period.
Lesson 1
The course outline will follow the chronology of prehistory, starting with the Palaeolithic (Old Stone Age) (500,000-10,000 BC). This week will introduce the different hominin species, such as Homo erectus, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens and their use of fire, tools and rock art.
Lesson 2
This week will discuss the changes we see in Britain in the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) (10,000-4,000 BC), including the use of microlithic (small) flint tools, the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and rock art. The much-debated change from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic period will also be introduced.
Lesson 3
Week three will discuss the Neolithic (New Stone Age) proper (4,000-2300 BC). This period is seen as the single most important economic transition in British History due to the beginning of farming, large scale trade networks and new ways of burying the dead.
Lesson 4
We will look at the technological changes in the Bronze Age (2300-800 BC) when copper, bronze and gold objects and weapons were first produced. Themes such as violence, the burial of the dead and the deposition of metal hoards will be discussed.
Lesson 5
The final week of the course will discuss the last period of British Prehistory, the Iron Age (800BC-43AD). The Celtic affiliation we often link with this period will be discussed along with the development of iron technology and the use of domestic areas for ritual. The shift into the Roman period will also be introduced to provide a full rounded introduction to British Prehistory.

About Me
I am passionate about teaching and engaging others in my interests and specialisms. My experience teaching primary, secondary, university students and adults has reinforced this. I want to help others reach their full potential.Having recently finished my PhD in Archaeology, I am very aware of university expectations for students and I wish to use this with my teaching experience and geography, history and archaeology knowledge to help others through their studies.
My teaching method is centred around understanding and focus so that my students are able to reflect and engage with their learning. I engage my students with frequent questions and discussions to reveal their understanding of the topic and shape my lesson around their progress.
I also believe that it is important to use mixed media when teaching and break up the lessons by changing the teaching techniques.
For instance, a lesson may begin with an introductory statement and discussion with the pupil about the topic, this would be followed by a PowerPoint presentation. To renew the student's focus and concentration an activity, such as a quiz or game, will follow. After which, the lesson can continue with greater focus.

Empires of Epidemics: Disease History and Its Influence on Modern Life
From the Black Death to COVID-19, epidemics have done more than spread illness — they’ve reshaped societies, restructured power, accelerated science, and transformed how we live. In this personalized, one-on-one course, we’ll examine the global history of disease and uncover how outbreaks have built and broken systems across time.
Using primary sources, historical documents, visual media, propaganda, art, and medical texts, we’ll explore how different societies understood, feared, fought disease, and what those responses can teach us about the modern world.
Each lesson focuses on a specific disease or pandemic, such as:
- The Black Death and early public health
- The Spanish Flu and wartime censorship
- Cholera, sanitation, and the modern city
- Tuberculosis and the romanticization of illness
- HIV/AIDS, activism, and inequality
- COVID-19 in historical perspective
What you’ll gain:
- A deeper understanding of disease as a force in world history
- Tools to analyze historical sources and narratives
- Connections between past and present public health responses
- Insight into how memory, fear, and resilience shape our collective story
This course is ideal for students of history, public health, or anyone curious about how disease has helped build — and challenge — the modern world.

Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.
