Testimonials
She’s the best teacher my daughter has ever had. My daughter cried knowing that she wouldn’t have her as a teacher in 4th grade. When she found out Mrs. Thomas was now a 5th grade teacher, she was excited only to find out she wasn’t her teacher. She cried some more. Thankfully after a few weeks she was moved to Mrs. Thomas class. Her whole attitude about 5th changed. She loved Mrs. Thomas.
— K. Edwards, Parent of Former Student
Her confidence grew tremendously while in your classroom, Nicole went from being shy and not answering questions due to being scared to get the wrong answers to being confident and always willing to participate. Nicole’s past teachers (not all) had completely broken down her confidence and you made her believe in herself again. We will always be grateful for you and the love you give to each and every student!
-Karenn M., Parent of Former Student
From my observations, she believes the best results come from approaching complex problems with high emotional intelligence and a learning mindset. Rather than simply accepting how things have always been done, she challenges existing processes to find better, more efficient ways forward. Highly recommend. Ashley has a calling to ensure the views and actions align with shifting the focus from merely managing tasks to elevating and empowering.
— Former Admin
Ms. Ashley is very engaging with her teaching intentions and my children learned more than what was required of her from being a school teacher. Her impact on them will be carried with them throughout their lives and I'm sure they will want to see her again and let her know how much she impacted their lives and journeys.
-Former Parent, Jamie White
Ashley brings professionalism, passion, and relatability to her work, making her presentations engaging and beneficial for a wide range of audiences. I would highly recommend her services to schools, organizations, and leadership teams seeking meaningful professional development that inspires growth while also providing practical takeaways that can be implemented immediately.
She is an amazing teacher and so much more. She truly cares about the kids she works with. Her impact is everlasting and you will not regret entrusting her with any of your needs. -KEYS to Success Tutoring Client
-C. Colomb, Former Admin
I love that besides from teaching new skills, she teaches children to love themselves again and be confident in who they are. -Anonymous, Former Tutoring Parent
Ashley combines her educational background and experiences within family and consumer sciences to provide a safe, open, and trusting environment for all. I've seen her encourage autonomy and collaboration, and spearhead activities that encourage exploration of alternate perspectives and critical reflection.
-Former Admin
I would recommend Ashley to anyone as long as they were not trying to pull her from my team. She is an asset that can't be easily replaced.
-A. Cantin, Former AdminI wholeheartedly recommend Ashley and Rooted Growth Transformational Learning to anyone seeking authentic, purpose-driven educational support. She leads with intention, heart, and excellence in everything she does.
