All About the 2nd grade Team

Meet Tr. Gerald

I was born and raised in Germany, where I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Saarland in Saarbrücken. With nearly 20 years of experience in education, primarily teaching 1st through 4th grades, I bring a strong commitment to nurturing young learners. I moved to Philadelphia in 2023, where I now live in South Philadelphia with my wife, Cecilia, a Spanish and ELL teacher in Philadelphia, and our cat, Maui.
