My name is Angela Aguilar. Originally from Mexico, I relocated to Texas with my family at a young age. I am a Christian and a proud mother of two children, ages 13 and 6. With seven years of experience as a high school mathematics teacher and four years as an online educator, I have had the opportunity to work with students of varying ages, backgrounds, and learning abilities. My passion lies in education and child development; however, I have also observed the harmful impact that politics, bullying, and other external distractions can have on students and the learning environment. In response, I founded A Mindful Learner—an initiative dedicated to offering a more focused, supportive, and student-centered approach to education within our community. I firmly believe that every student holds immense potential, and through this program, I am committed to helping them realize and cultivate that potential.

At A Mindful Learner, our vision is to create meaningful opportunities for students to collaborate, while empowering them to take ownership of their educational journeys. We aim to provide more than just supplemental classes and tutoring—we are committed to making a lasting, positive impact within our community. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to foster personal responsibility, promote the development of strong habits, and instill a sense of purpose in each student. By encouraging children to look beyond themselves, we help them recognize the value of their contributions to the world around them. Through service opportunities and educational field trips, students gain practical insights and a deeper understanding of the broader community and society.

A Mindful Learner was founded to support the unique needs of homeschool families by offering an educational environment that nurtures both academic growth and emotional well-being. Our primary goal is to promote the mental and emotional health of students while cultivating strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We provide a safe, inclusive, and politically neutral space where children can thrive in small, supportive class settings. Our daily activities are intentionally designed to inspire independent thinking and encourage meaningful engagement. By allowing students to choose activities based on their interests, we empower them to take ownership of their education—fostering a sense of autonomy, confidence, and lifelong curiosity.
