At Primavera, we strive to find extraordinary teachers. For this week’s Teacher Spotlight, we found just the one. Mr. Mehalechko is an adequately inspired English teacher at Primavera. Mr. Mehalechko captivates his virtual classrooms with humor and laughter to motivate his students to succeed in their courses.
While Mr. Mehalechko was completing his teaching degree at Arizona State University, he came across Primavera at a job fair. According to him, he didn’t discover Primavera, Primavera discovered him. Mr. Mehalechko says he couldn’t be happier working with students in a virtual environment. In his Interview, we asked Mr. Mehalechko to tell us a time when he reached out to a student. His response? “At Preview Primavera last spring, a student was about to trip over a chair, so I reached out to stop him from falling”.
