Hi, I'm currently a year 12 in High school, I'm having quite a lot of problems with one of my subjects. I'm currently taking English, Biology, Maths and Nutrition.

The subject I'm currently having problems with is English. I feel so insecure in my teachers class, whenever he drafts my essays I always get such unproductive feedback to the point where some of his suggestions are 1. Not needed or 2. Simply don't make sense. Not to mention English is my second language and I try really hard to perfect my work due to this insecurity.

Whenever I stay back in class to ask him suggestions I should do to further aid my work (essays) or ask him to explain himself when it comes to his drafting on my work he quickly tries to get rid of me by saying 'oh I have an appointment' or by rushing what he has to say.

Now I don't want to seem like I'm playing the victim card because I'm not. Our class has handed up several assignments during this year and tell me how in each of those assignments I always get a C? It's always a C never a B+ or A- (I could only wish).

I usually don't cry over teachers but he has put so much pressure to the point where I've had mental break downs over his work.

I'm trying to get a good ATAR to get into a good university and study my dream career but this problem has been going on for sometime now.

Tomorrow I'm going to see my year level manager and talk to her about this problem. Wish me luck.

And to whoever is reading this thank you for taking time out of your day to read my post. And if you could please give me some feedback or suggestions I should do to help me cope with this situation.
