What makes a good learning experience? Based on past interactions with clients, there are two prevalent factors. First of all, the learner must be available to devote time and focus. For most clients this means prioritising good planning for weekly lessons, and regular practice at home. What determines a good focus is a set of psychological factors, that eventually can push you beyond or take you far from your gifts and acquired abilities. The perspective of the role that mastering a particular skill can have in your life is probably the most of important of this factors. But consider others, like the context of learning and the relationship between tutor and student. Even if a class context can be highly beneficial for a number of students, in the majority of the cases private classes make a huge positive difference.
