learning guide testimonials

“Becoming a learning guide at Mighty Roots has been the best teaching experience I have had in my 25+ years of teaching. So many amazing teachable moments come from exploring in the woods and taking learning outside. I have seen children flourish in this environment who may not have been successful in a traditional learning environment. Mighty Roots strives to meet it’s students where they are and to continue to support their growth and success.”

“Once I visited Mighty Roots, I knew it would be a great fit for both myself and my children. I love the students and my co-workers. I love the time and the freedom I have in the classroom, which allows me to teach concepts and techniques in greater depth.

Working at Mighty Roots has made a significant positive impact on my mental well-being. Being a part of this team has provided me with a sense of belonging and community.”

“I never realized which of my talents would be sought after for classes at Mighty Roots. It’s been incredibly fun for me to share my passions with students who are excited to learn. I love that I have the ability to structure my classes the way that fits me and my students. 

It’s been a blessing that my 3 kids are able to attend as well and take classes that they are interested in.”
