<p>I think you need to apologize, and don’t mention about him being a new teacher or something. That will, no matter how you phrase it, sound nothing more than ‘you are the reason’ to that teacher.</p>
<p>Just say you are very sorry for upsetting him, and make sure that he understand it’s nothing personal at all. Dont’ say anything like “you are a new teacher”, “my ex teacher was better” something like that. K? I m glad to heat that your palsy isn’t super difficult to manage.</p>
<p>Regarding ECs, there isn’t much to do at this point other than grinding in a single or two activities that you are the most passionate about</p>
