Mersadie Root is a credentialed educator with deep roots in the Malibu and Westside communities. She currently runs a nurturing micro-pod program for children ages 2–5 at a private Malibu residence — a small, intentional learning environment shaped by the natural beauty surrounding Point Dume.
Before founding Teaching in the Bu, Mersadie spent several years as a 5th grade teacher at Our Lady of Malibu, and has taught pre-K through 5th grade at MUSE School, Trinity Baptist in Santa Monica, and HSH. Her teaching philosophy centers on curiosity, connection, and meeting each child exactly where they are.
Imagine a small, sunlit schoolhouse nestled into the canyon above Point Dume — where learning feels like an adventure and the Pacific is always in view.
Whether you're exploring a pod, looking for a tutor, or simply curious — Mersadie would love to connect.
