Korossol Into The Ring 7

I barely remember it. My mother paid for language lessons because I was incredibly bad at english. I think it was middle school? I had found a class of... losers, honestly, really funny losers and I felt welcomed and relaxed. My schoolwork never got that bad because I read and wrote well, but everything that I didn't already know I didn't learn that year. And I hated English because the teacher always pointed at me, demanding answers, which made me blank. I litterally can't think when someone shouts at me or treats me badly and for the entirety of my school career, English teachers decided that "confrontational" was THE thing. It wasn't. In the name af all those who didn't learn English those years, I can tell you: verbal violence doesn't help. The student, I mean. Maybe the teachers had problems too. But I learned latin easily, because of a very polite professor and I finally learned English at Uni after I choose the only teacher who didn't yell.
So about language lessons and tutoring. I remember my mother being livid because she knew Iwasn't stupid but I still couldn't learn what she deemed "easy". Years later, we finally realized that she went to excellent middle and high schools when mine were... well, "not that good" for the first and "really bad" for the second. My teachers were lax, they didn't care about the students and their future, and THEY thought we were stupid. Also French is the official language where I live but for most people it's clearly a second language. It should have been teached as a foreign language.
I disgress. The language lessons. Well, they were boring and my tutor had a saccharine smile which made me think of my actuel teacher. I felt she would have yelled at me too if she could. She told me about irregular verbs and tenses like verybody else before and it didn't help me in the least.

Corrections

I disgress.

Would be more common to say "But I digress." here, it's a set figure of speech.

She told me about irregular verbs and tenses like everybody else before had, and it didn't help me in the least.

I think this is grammatical, but adding "had" makes it clear that she did it in just the same way as everyone before had told you - not that she was telling you in the same way she had told everyone before.

"I finally got to the customs desk and the officer asked me for my passport, like [he had] everybody else before."
"This was the tenth customs officer I had seen today, and he was brusque and rude like everybody else before [had been]."

I barely remember it.

My mother paid for language lessons because I was incredibly bad at english.

I think it was middle school?

I had found myself in a class of... losers, honestly, really funny losers and I felt welcomed and relaxed.

This sounds more native

My schoolwork never got that bad because I read and wrote well, but everything that I didn't already know I didn't learn that year.

And I hated English because the teacher always pointed at me, demanding answers, w.Which made me nervous and my mind went blank.

I corrected the runone sentence, I added more words to make it sound natural

I litterally can't think when someone shouts at me or treats me badly and for the entirety of my school career,. English teachers decided that "confrontational" was THE thing.

Corrected literally and fixed run on
Sentence

It wasn't.

In the name afFor all those
People
who didn't learn English those years, I can tell you: verbal violence doesn't help.

This makes more clear who you are speaking about

The student, I mean.

Maybe the teachers had problems too.

So about language lessons and tutoring.

I remember my mother being livid because she knew I wasn't’t stupid but I still couldn't learn what she deemed "easy".

Spacing between I and wasn’t

Years later, we finally realized that she went to excellent middle and high schools when mine were... well, "not that good" for the first and "really bad" for the second.

My teachers were lax, they didn't care about the students and their future, and THEY thought we were stupid.

Also French is the official language where I live but for most people it's clearly a second language.

It should have been teachedaught as a foreign language.

Taught is more natural
