Wild Minds Learning

If you’re looking for the best teacher on Outschool, look no more! My children have been blessed to have Ms. Monica in their lives almost every day for nearly 2 years (they never want to miss a class!). Classes with Monica are more than a learning experience, they are a safe community building space for any and all learners. Monica plans her curriculum with care and is sure to address both the minds and hearts of learners as they discuss the importance of caring for our environment and every creature in it, while also having fun looking at cute animals and learning amazing facts! My children have gained confidence and skills in expressing themselves both verbally and on the page while working with Monica and we can’t recommend her courses enough.

My son Max really enjoyed Monica’s class this week. He said it felt welcoming and supportive, with a fun group where everyone was kind and respectful. The story prompt was especially inspiring — it made a wonderful base to begin writing from, and it resonated deeply as we live near volcanoes and for the past 3 years lived directly beneath a sleeping one. Max felt more confident in his typing and story writing, and he loved being part of a safe space where he could share his ideas. As a parent, I’m grateful for how Monica creates such a positive, creative environment. Max came away smiling, inspired, and ready to keep writing. We highly recommend her classes!

This class is absolutely awesome! The content is fantastic, however it’s the teacher who makes it extra special. She is able to connect and relate to the students with her energetic and engaging personality. This age group is sometimes hard to teach but she nails it! We had to stop for a bit because of a scheduling conflict but we can’t wait to join again when that commitment is over. I absolutely recommend this class 1000%.

Ms. Monica is a great teacher. She is kind and professional and always makes sure to give each child a chance to share or talk if they want to. My son (age 12) likes Ms. Monica and said that the creative nature of this class helped make “a boring subject more interesting.” High praise from a pre-teen.

My child looks forward to The Story of Earth and the Moon every week! The combination of science, drawing, and writing makes the class both fun and educational, and I’ve seen his confidence grow as he shares his work. Monica is such a warm, encouraging teacher, and she makes even big scientific ideas feel exciting and approachable.

Does your child love learning strange and unusual facts about animals? Does your child love laughing and having conversations with peers about making the Earth a better place for all living things? Does your child enjoy drawing and creating a beautiful journal highlighting everything they’ve learned? But most importantly, does your child thrive in a safe learning environment where every learner is valued and encouraged and supported at their individual level? If so, Ms. Monica is the teacher for your learner and you should check out all of her classes. Wildlife Trivia is my 12 year old learner’s self-proclaimed favorite class. It’s not competitive, fun, and he learns new things every week!

This class and teacher are amazing. My daughter has been in Ms. Monica’s class now for over 2 years. She makes the kids feel like they are a family by creating a curious, supportive, and friendly learning environment. My daughter loves Ms. Monica and she is truly a wonderful educator. Our family can’t say enough goods things about her and her classes!!!

Ms. Monica is an awesome teacher! This class quickly became my daughter’s favorite outschool class. My daughter says they have lots of fun and she learns a lot!

My son Max had such a positive experience and it really uplifted his confidence in his overall abilities. Max described Monica’s class as “warm and inviting” and said it felt like a space he could trust. He felt comfortable sharing, had a lot of fun, and told me it helped with his general typing and story writing too. He especially loved the group dynamic, saying the other kids were funny and respectful. As a parent, I’m grateful for how Monica makes her classes both safe and inspiring — Max came away smiling and more confident in his writing. Highly recommended!

Ms. Monica is a gem and well loved by all of her students! Her classes are expertly designed and well delivered. I highly recommend any and all of Ms. Monica’s classes and especially Wildlife Trivia, which is a fun weekly experience for every child that loves animals!
