Meet the Teacher!
My name is Hannah Higgins. I teach English Language Learners (ELL) at Thurston Elementary. B.A. in Elementary Education (Major: Mathematics / Minor: Language Arts) University of Michigan, Ann Arbor M.A. in TESOL (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages) Eastern Michigan University Before joining AAPS, I worked for 11 years as a 4th grade teacher. Previous to that, I taught 5th & 6th grade math for 1 year. I spent my high school years living abroad in Shenyang, China, when my father had a job that transferred our family overseas. There, I got to experience my own journey as student traveling to a new land, learning a new dialect of Chinese for myself and discovering life in a different culture from what I had originally experienced growing up with a childhood in Michigan. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family (I have 2 young daughters), reading, cooking, and traveling. I look forward to helping my students grow and learn more about English this year! |
