At Wild Roots Education, our mission is to nurture each child’s unique potential through compassionate, individualized learning experiences rooted in both heart and science. We provide holistic tutoring and educational services that empower children to grow strong foundations—academically, emotionally, and developmentally. By integrating research-based practices with a deep understanding of the whole child, we help families cultivate joy, confidence, and lasting growth.
At Wild Roots Education, we envision a world where every child—regardless of background or ability—has access to the knowledge, support, and environment they need to flourish. We see a future where learning is joyful, deeply rooted in each child’s unique strengths, and nurtured through compassion and science. Our vision is to empower families with tools that honor the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—so that all children can grow with confidence, curiosity, and resilience.
We believe that with strong roots, every child can rise.
At Wild Roots Education, we believe in a different kind of learning journey—one that’s grounded, compassionate, and deeply personalized.
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each child receives tutoring that is tailored to their learning style, needs, and interests—designed to help them grow strong from the inside out.
We honor the emotional, cognitive, and sensory needs of every learner. Our sessions are not just about academics—they’re about building confidence, curiosity, and joy.
Our approach is informed by current science—from neurodevelopment and literacy pathways to behavioral supports and nutrition. We stay curious so we can serve you better.
We believe families should feel informed, not overwhelmed. Alongside our services, we offer curated tools and resources to help you better understand and support your child.
We are committed to making foundational knowledge freely available on our platform—because no child should be denied the chance to thrive due to lack of access.
Deirdre is a mom of three boys, a seasoned educator, and the founder of Wild Roots Education LLC, a company born from both personal experience and professional passion. With over twelve years of classroom experience, she brings a deep understanding of how children learn—and what they need to truly thrive.
Deirdre has always had a deep passion for working with children and knew from a young age that she wanted to become an elementary teacher. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (K–6) from the State University of New York at Oswego.
Her dedication to teaching literacy was shaped by her own early struggles with reading and writing. This personal connection inspired her to pursue a Master of Science in Literacy Education (K–12) from Touro University, where she deepened her expertise in helping students become confident, capable readers and writers.
Deirdre always dreamed of becoming a mother. She is now the proud mom of three boys, each of whom has faced developmental delays—both socially and academically—as well as a range of medical conditions that required ongoing care, support, and advocacy. Through relentless advocacy—both in healthcare and education—Deirdre cultivated a supportive, nurturing environment where her children could thrive with confidence and joy. This transformative journey ignited her mission: to empower other families to create the same kind of growth-minded, resilient foundation for their children.
Deirdre is also a certified health coach and an active participant in the groundbreaking Documenting Hope project, a research initiative focused on reversing chronic childhood conditions through personalized, root-cause care. Her work bridges the worlds of education, biology, and holistic health, empowering families to implement practical, evidence-based strategies that support brain function, immune balance, and overall well-being.
At Wild Roots Education, Deirdre offers a whole-child, integrative approach—connecting mind, body, and environment—to support each child’s unique journey. With expertise in multiple intelligences, exceptionalities, and neurodiverse learning, she creates a compassionate space where children can flourish.
Deirdre believes that with the right tools, supportive guidance, and a deep understanding of each child’s roots, every learner has the power to not only succeed—but to truly thrive.
