About Aaron

Dr Aaron Ralby is an experienced linguist and private tutor who specializes in using memory palaces – spatial memory techniques – to teach the complexities of language in a fun and engaging way. Rather than drilling dry grammatical patterns, Aaron guides students through virtual spaces, helping them create their own mnemonic stories to remember all the details of vocabulary, conjugation, declension, or usage. The results are immediate and impressive, providing students with the foundation they need not only to succeed on exams, but also develop a real proficiency within a language.

Aaron is currently accepting students for French and German, both of which he speaks fluently.

Memory Palaces in VR

Aaron became interested in medieval memory techniques during his PhD in medieval studies and Germanic philology at Cornell University. He was fascinated by how monks and scholars were able to perform incredible feats of memory and composition without writing anything down. Experimenting with these medieval systems, Aaron then spent several years developing the tools and techniques necessary for applying memory palaces to learning modern languages. He has led development of Munx VR, a software for building and sharing memory palaces in 3D and virtual reality. Aaron uses this software via screenshare during his private tuition sessions. The background and concept was featured in a Cambridge University TEDx.

Aaron’s Academic Background

Aaron holds a PhD in medieval studies from Cornell University, where he focused on medieval Germanic literature and historical linguistics. He also holds an MA in medieval studies from Cornell, and an MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic from the University of Cambridge. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where he double-majored in English and Modern Languages and Linguistics with a concentration in German. He graduated top of his year.

Aaron’s first foreign language was Japanese, which he studied for 10 years at school. He began German at age 11, then pursued it as a concentration as an undergraduate. Also as an undergraduate, Aaron became interested in historical linguistics, and studied all the dead Germanic languages, from Old English to Old High German. Aaron learned French as an adult using his own techniques, and now speaks it daily at home – his girlfriend is French.

Students with Learning Disabilities

Children with learning disabilities – particularly dyslexia – have especially good success with memory palaces. By removing text from the learning process and replacing it with spatial and creative learning, we can provide dyslexic students a powerful means of mastering content that previously seemed out of reach.

Aaron has also worked on projects with the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge University. He is co-founder of Cambridge Autism Learning, a site dedicated to providing quality resources for parents and carers of autistic children.
