From Failure to Phoenix: Mir's Remarkable A2 Exam Story
O epizodě podcastu
This episode is so special.
Why? Because Mir is openly talking about his failure during the first attempt for his A2 exam. Why did he fail? What happened next before meeting me and starting a new chapter in his learning journey that lead to his SUCCESS.
Why 58 x 90-minute traditional lessons didn't lead him to success?
How is it possible that the equivalent of 9 lessons with me (54 x 15-minute lessons = 9 x 90-minute lessons) was more than enough for him to pass the A2 exam with confidence?
This was not only about learning vocabulary. This was also about overcoming a trauma.
I am not a therapist. I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist - yet there are situations in the life of a tutor when special methods, huge doses of empathy and gentle approach combined with pushing the student at the right moments for him to be able to overcome the obstacles and succeed - all of this combined is simply necessary...
