Mr Mitch is obviously one of those inspiring teachers that adults remember when they look back at their schooldays ask your parents if there is anyone they particularly remember as an inspiring teacher from their schooldays- what did they say? He helps Josh overcome his fear of water by using a variety of strategies- what are some of the things he does that help Josh with his aquaphobia? Also why do you think Josh chooses him to ask him to teach him to swim? What is the symonym for aquaphobia? (a word that means the same thing)
This may help you here-
Another important key is to find a buddy, someone who will do the drills along with you in the water as often as possible. If you can find a friend at your same level, that’s great. Most vital is that your buddy give you support—real support—the rah, rah kind. She cannot tell you your fears are silly. He can encourage you but not push you to go faster than you want. Your buddy should also be someone who helps you feel playful because play is an essential aspect of the water. Also, you must praise yourself throughout this process, especially when it seems especially tough.
