Michele Diggins Reviews

Student (AP Statistics) – May 16, 2025

I learned a lot throughout the year and it was very cool to use familiar concepts from different branches of math to explore statistics, with which I had no prior experience. Mrs. Diggins was always glad to answer questions/provide assistance both in and outside of class. Additionally, she provided helpful feedback on assignments and allowed revisions which facilitated a deeper understanding of the material.

Both assignments and live class sessions were essential to the class. The notes and homework did well to provide instruction in addition to Mrs. Diggins’ teaching. During class, students also had the opportunity to have questions answered, go through problems, and discuss that week’s content. I liked the rhythm of the course as well, with major assignments, like unit exams and projects, generally being broken up by quizzes and regular homework. It made it easier to keep track of upcoming assignments, plan ahead, and not become overwhelmed with coursework.

Mrs. Diggins was an excellent teacher! Her curriculum/assignments were easy to navigate, and prepared me very well for the AP Exam.

Student (AP Statistics) – May 13, 2025

I could see so many practical uses for the topics we covered, and the classes were engaging and fun because she let us work on problems as a group, and we played Kahoot games sometimes! The teacher is so supportive and helpful; whenever I had questions about homework or just any course topic in general, I never felt scared to reach out, and her replies were always very helpful! The class prepared me very well for the AP Statistics test, and I wasn’t nervous during the test because I realized I was familiar with all the questions!

This class is very informative but it’s not boring. Mrs.Diggins includes math mazes and math games when she is teaching. This helps students remember what they learned because they were paying attention. The students benefit from this class because they can ask questions when they don’t understand something and can watch others solve problems to help them understand. The teacher can see where a student doesn’t understand something and can help not just that student but more because it is likely for more students to struggle with the same topic.

I try not to micromanage my child’s learning and seeing how my son has been working independently and doing well in class shows me that Mrs. Diggins has been doing an outstanding job. I appreciate that she not only teaches the material but keeps the class organized and keeps everything running smoothly. My son shares that she is very approachable and has had a positive experience with his very first online class.

Student (Algebra 1) – May 5, 2025

I think I learned more about math than I ever have before this year!

Student (Algebra 1) – May 5, 2025

Mrs. Diggins is the best!!! I really like how she teaches and we do fun math stuff.

Parent (Algebra 1) – May 5, 2025

Ms. Diggins explains concepts well and takes the time to answer students’ questions. The math lab was a valuable add-on. We expected a great class since another of my children had Ms. Diggins before. However, I did not expect how well my son would be able to do on his own. In previous years math has been a consistent struggle. In this class, he was able to do the work independently and with understanding almost every day.

Student (Geometry) – May 5, 2025

I love her ability to provide help to a student when they are having an issue with the material, and her ability to make the class fun and lively.

Michele Diggins is prepared, patient, and direct. She is the course’s greatest asset. We have grown to deeply appreciate the University of Chicago’s math curriculum. The method and layout of the book have worked well. We’ll keep the book as a reference.

Parent (Algebra 1) – October 8, 2024

Overall this course has been a very positive first experience for an online class. I appreciate that Mrs. Diggins creates a comfortable atmosphere for my child to ask questions and interact with other students. She also is very organized which helps to keep the class running smoothly. My child has mentioned that Mrs. Diggins is very kind and fair teacher.

Student (AP Statistics) – October 8, 2024

There has been a fair bit of review of previously learned concepts but also expansion on those areas. Math in general is not the most engaging subject for me, but the new concepts and techniques are interesting. Its great preparation for the AP Statistics exam.

Parent (Algebra 1) – October 5, 2024

My son, who has always disliked math (although he is generally capable of understanding it), has been able to do his work independently. We’re no longer dealing with daily math struggles! Mrs. Diggins plans content that reinforces the concepts and she is able to break down ideas so students understand.

Student (Algebra 1) – October 4, 2024

Mrs. Diggins is very helpful her classes are very engaging she helps me with what I am struggling with and I am learning a lot.

Parent (Algebra 1) – May 7, 2024

Mrs. Diggins engaged our two boys in the maths classes they have taken. Her homework and exercises reinforce what she teaches and she makes herself available for any clarifications our children have needed. She is understanding to technical problems and agile to work with should you need any flexibility due to time zones or travel. Our children have learned the material and we have confidence in their abilities after they have taken Mrs, Diggins’ classes. We actively seek maths classes she teaches and highly recommend her.

Student (Pre-Algebra) – May 7, 2024

This class is really a great course to take. everything was just the right balance for me, nothing was to hard and nothing was to easy. Also Mrs Diggins is a great teacher, and explains every thing very clearly and easy to understand.

Student (Algebra 1) – May 2, 2024

Mrs. Diggins brings math to a whole other level! Her energy combined with the course material makes this my favorite course I took this year! It provided the right amount of challenge, as well as the right amount of assignments to balance out the live class with.

Parent (Algebra 1) – April 29, 2024

Great instructor. Math is a hard subject to learn for students. She tried her best to get everyone to understand the subject even when it was difficult. My child worked very hard in this class. Even when she was struggling she continued to do her very best. Mrs. Diggins always gave positive feedback.

Parent (AP Statistics) – April 29, 2024

My daughter learned a lot despite not generally enjoying math. Mrs. Diggins recognizes that not all students, even in an AP class, are going to be excited about the subject matter, and tries to make the math as relevant as possible.

Student (Algebra 1) – April 29, 2024

*THIS CLASS IS HARD* It is not easy, it is difficult. Some parts are easier than others, but for me, It has been a great challenge. I strongly reccomend Mrs. Diggins as a math teacher, she is always there to help, and likes to give clear, valuable instruction to her students.

Parent (Algebra 1) – May 2, 2023

This was a good course with a lot of information and an excellent teacher. Ms. DIGGINS was incredibly kind and willing to put in a lot of extra work to help my student be successful. She seemed to care very deeply about her students. Grading and email questions were answered quickly. My son really liked the classes and the teacher!

Parent (Algebra 1) – April 18, 2023

Ms. Diggins patiently teaching my daughter that she can do algebra and do it well was the greatest benefit of this class. This class has helped my math anxiety child see that she can do algebra, and when an assignment goes poorly, she can dust herself off and try again with the next assignment.

S.D. (Parent, Algebra 1) – September 24, 2022

[Mrs. Diggins] is organized and encourages students to do their best!

A.M. (Student, Algebra 1) – September 22, 2022

Algebra is not something I really like but I find it very important to me. The greatest benefits of this course are the live class, participation, and it is easy to understand the teacher.

D.P. (Parent, Algebra 1) – March 25, 2022

Michele is definitely a wonderful math teacher! She takes the time to make sure my son understands the problems and and patiently helps him to work through what he does not understand. She helps him to gain a better understanding of what he is being asked to do, so that he can work the problems out on his own when he comes across them again. I would highly recommend her!

J.B. (Parent, Pre-Algebra) – March 24, 2022

Michele is an excellent math teacher! Both of my girls have taking classes with her in multiple subjects. She is thorough and very patient. She takes the time to make sure the student really understands the concept before moving forward. Highly, highly recommend!
