Is there any chance that it would help things if you told the teacher what words would work better with you? (I like the phrases in your second paragraph.) It often might not, but with at least a few people who have wanted to be supportive to me, finding a way to tell them what could give a better result has been a relief to both of us. And I often forget that.
