Who are we?

​

Aaron grew up in California and spent his senior year of high school as an exchange student in Germany.  He started teaching high school physics in 2000, then worked in a physics lab for a while, and then became an outdoor science educator before leaving that to do educational science theatre programs with a science museum.  Eventually he got back into the classroom and in 2009 began teaching German on weekends and in the summer.  In 2014 he started teaching music and soon afterward started his Orff-Schulwerk music certification, which he completed in 2017.  In 2018, he went to a language teacher training at the Rassias Center at Dartmouth College.  Not only did he learn a lot of teaching strategies, but he met his wife Cintya there.
