TL:DR: weak student (me), impatient coach, when she's impatient she becomes harsh and I finally had a mental breakdown yesterday
I have been taking private skating lessons for about 1 year now. My coach is good at finding my improper forms and correcting them, and I have been improving fast under her guidance.
However, I am a person who had never danced in my life, and I really have trouble understand how to do the dance move by just looking at it for 1 or 2 times. My coach seems to be a talented dancer and skater, and she is frustrated at why I have looked at her demonstrated so many times but still couldn't do the moves right.
When I couldn't do things right, she'll get impatient and visiblely annoyed, which ives me a lot of stress during these kinds of time. Yesterday I was having a really bad day and I think her harsh words kinda got to me, I tried hard not to cry during lesson but I had to rush to the washroom and melted down after lesson.
I still want to learn under her guidance, so I want to tell her that I hope she could be more patient when teaching. But I am still struggling to phrase the talk as I have never confronted anyone in this kind of matters. Any advice?
