About Us

I founded Mentor Orchard because I struggled to get the mentoring support that I needed to become the teacher I wanted to be.

Working in a small school made finding a great mentor in my content area challenging. When I did receive a mentor, their availability was slim and one was unwilling to share resources. I sought out a teacher mentor online but it cost over $1800 and you couldn't see who you would be paired with.

​

Unfortunately, this story is common with teachers and it's why I created Mentor Orchard and our Teaching Community. I want teachers to easily access the support and resources they need so they can become a great teacher sooner rather than later!

I want teacher turnover to be low and professional well being to be high! I hope you utilize our network of mentors and become the teacher that you hoped to become when you first thought, "I want to be a teacher."
