This is an interesting post and I am glad you brought it up. It has
been years since I have made my living with primary students, but if
memory serves, this came up all the time. The trick is to replace the
unhealthy nerves with healthy concern. It IS normal to be at least a
little nervous (My most difficult students were a couple of guys who
were totally fearless). I have meet too many people who quit for years
because of a bad experience early on and then regreted it years later
after they finished up. Dont be one of those. Discuss your concerns
with the instructor and maybe try someone else if you two cannot make
things work. Good luck,
