That sounds like a really tough situation, but you’re handling it with honesty and reflection both key traits of a great teacher. Mixed-ability classes can be tricky since everyone learns differently; some want to be challenged, while others need reassurance. Setting clear expectations at the start, reminding students you’re there to spot and support them, and encouraging open communication can make a huge difference. It helps build trust and reduces the chance of anyone feeling left out or unsafe.

Feeling disheartened is natural, especially when you care deeply about doing well. Many new instructors face similar teething problems before finding their rhythm. Taking some time for self-care might help you regain balance and confidence.
