Favorite part about Primavera: Being able to talk with her students one-on-one and give them more personalized attention without any classroom distractions.
How many years at Primavera: 1 year
How many years teaching: 4 years
One technique used to motivate students: Having a very positive attitude while remaining firm. “My desk is decorated in pink; I live on the bright side!”
Is there a particular time you felt you’ve reached out to a student? Yes! I talked to one student every day for one hour each time as she worked through class. I am always willing to be there when you need me! She was so excited she got 100% as she worked and I was thrilled I helped her to get that feeling. Once you get the feeling and you can say to yourself, “I got this” it will give you the boost you need to succeed!
