Aaron M.

Aaron has spent 10 years teaching social studies. In those years, he taught United States History, Economics, Eastern Geographic Perspectives, and an introduction to anthropology. He loved teaching at the high school level, but it seldom allowed him to dive deep into the curriculum and intently work with students to see the light bulb illuminate. He believes every student can master what is taught. Being able to personalize lessons and help your student break through barriers builds confidence for your student’s continued success!
Aaron earned his B.A. in anthropology from Biola University a small Christian Liberal Arts University in Southern California. He then earned his M.Ed in Secondary Education in conjunction with his teaching credential in social studies from the University of Phoenix. And most recently, he earned his M.Ed. in Educational Administration from Concordia University Irvine.
When Aaron is not teaching, he is on the go with his family and kids with all the activities and sports they participate in. He is at the gym for gymnastics with his two daughters, hiking a trail, or on a bike ride enjoying all the natural beauty that is here in the Treasure Valley. He also teaches part-time at CWI (College of Western Idaho) a basic reading class for the Adult Education Program, to individuals seeking to further their education and careers.
He looks forward to getting to know you and your student and being a part of their educational journey!
