At Primavera, we have some of the best, most talented, hard working students there are! That’s why we’ve decided to shine the light on a few of our amazing students.
Each month, our teachers nominate a student they feel has gone above and beyond, and we get the opportunity to get to know them and shine the light on them a bit in this blog!
Check out their stories below:

Like how my teacher talks to us about what the lessons are going to be for the idea, so it makes homework easier for me. I enjoy the fun moments I have with my teacher on our live sessions. I enjoy knowing that if I do good in class and on my work my teacher awards me. I always hang her motivation notes on my desk. So I am reminded that my hard work is paying off.
