Aaron Diferdinando

Aaron DiFerdinando was drawn to teaching because of his immense interest in learning. "Mathematics particularly stood out for me because understanding math allows you the opportunity to reveal hidden structures underneath the complicated and chaotic surface of the world," he explains. "Helping others has always been a passion of mine. I don't view myself as a teacher, but as an educator who sees the potential in every student and an individual who is determined and willing to go above and beyond to offer the type of quality education that each and every student deserves."

Before coming to Villanova, Mr. DiFerdinando worked at the Lincoln Center for Family and Youth and continues to work at PA Leadership Charter School (PALCS) as a math teacher. He has stated, "I work with a great team of people who take all of our individual ideas and put them together to create the most engaging lessons and curriculum that can be offered to our students." Aaron received his Bachelor of Science in Education from West Chester University and his Masters in Applied Statistics from Villanova in May 2017. He currently teaches a course in Business Statistics at Villanova. In his free time, he likes to meditate and spend time with his family.
