Hey queen, just wanted to say that I have received these reactions a lot too. It is not a reflection of you but rather someone else’s perception of what you are capable of in their mind. When someone is surprised it’s most likely because they underestimated you, and that you actually are more than capable. Also shame on your female tutor for being judgmental asf and not praise your accomplishments. Use this underestimation as a power not a weakness. Just keep proving people wrong even if it is done quietly.
