My name is Ms. Higgins and I'm a dedicated and passionate middle school math teacher with 11.5 years of experience. I graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Currently, I am taking a break from teaching to stay home with my 1 year old. My philosophy is that every student has the potential to succeed in math with the right teaching approach. I am committed to helping students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to excel in math and their everyday lives. In my experience, many students who struggle with math often lack some fundamental skills, and I work tirelessly to ensure that each of my students has a solid foundation on which to build their math skills. I am a dedicated mentor to my students and strive to create a positive and inclusive learning environment where everyone feels safe and supported. Overall, I am a teacher who is deeply committed to the success and well-being of my students.
