If you’re not achieving the grades you want, where can you get help from?
Aside from your teachers, turning to your friends is usually a good option – two heads are better than one when working out a solution! Working with them will not only help you, but it will also help them to perfect their skills and build their confidence.
When choosing a training partner you must be careful: you need to be very mature about it. A good training partner is someone who you can work with and can stay on task. A person who cannot stay on task may encourage you to talk about other things, such as last night’s Hollyoaks!
Arrange training sessions that are 100% focussed on the task. Allow yourself breaks that are 100% relaxation.
Don’t try and mix the two.
If neither of you can do it, you can seek help from your teacher –that’s the intelligent thing to do!
