About me

Welcome! My name is Martin Huschke and I was born and raised in a small town in the southwest of Germany before moving to the United States in 1998. I started at Albert Einstein Academies Elementary School in 2010 after receiving my teaching credential from San Diego State University. I am very excited to be your child’s fifth grade teacher.

Before I decided to change my profession, I worked for several years in finance and international sales. I earned my Master’s degree in Business Administration from the Julius-Maximilians University of Wuerzburg (Germany) and was fortunate to have the opportunity to work in the U.S. after graduation. During my time in business, I was responsible for sales to Europe and also for financial analysis/venture capital and customer service.

After my daughter was born, I decided to follow a path I always wanted to go but never did: to become a teacher. My wife and I added a son to our family in 2009. I am excited that they are now both students at AEA and also benefit from the unique education this school offers.

I love sports of all kinds. I played competitive soccer and tennis when I was in Germany. I was also a children’s soccer coach and a swim coach in the DLRG (German Lifeguard Association). Since I moved to the U.S., I have really gotten into triathlons and completed Ironman Germany in 2005. I also enjoy golfing, swimming at La Jolla cove (when there aren’t any sharks) and scuba diving. My family and I enjoy traveling and spending time in the outdoors, going camping, hiking or just playing at the beach. I feel lucky to live in San Diego.

Living and working in two countries and learning the language and the culture has been challenging and rewarding. Because of this, I will bring a high level of openness, energy, enthusiasm and understanding to the classroom.

In order to have a safe, secure, and productive learning environment, we will be developing classroom rules during the first week of school. I know the students will work hard to follow the rules we develop. At school, I will encourage them in their efforts at self-control and self-discipline. If I need your help at home, I will be in touch with you by phone or note. If you have any questions or wish to speak with me, I can be reached at school at (619) 795-1190 between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. and after school between 2:45 and 3:00 p.m. If these times are inconvenient for you, please leave a message and I’ll return your call as soon as possible. You can reach me by e-mail at mhuschke@aeacs.org.

Once again, welcome! I look forward to meeting you and working with your child.

Sincerely,

Martin Huschke
