The Aha! Learner, LLC was founded out of a passion to empower homeschool families, educators, schools, and children to thrive. My name is Lisa Jarsen and I am founder of The Aha! Learner, LLC. I have a diverse background that includes educational leadership as a teacher, director, and mentor. With over 25 years in the field of education, I spent the last decade as a certified Montessori teacher/guide in the upper elementary classroom. My absolute joy is the moment when a student exclaims, “Aha! Now I get it.” When students are guided towards answers and make their own discoveries, learning becomes internalized, personal, and meaningful. Then, the quest to learn more and to feel that next success is ignited. I look forward to connecting with you, listening to your story, and to exploring how the next “aha!” moments can be realized through our collaboration.
