The term TYRO appears to have gone out of use, but I did find that useful to hear.
As an ATCO myself I certainly would not refuse zone transit /entry to a student pilot or I hope treat any differently in terms of service , however it is fair to say most students (and this applies to any student in any discipline) are unable to do as much at a time as an experienced pilot. Thus we may take more time over the RT with you simply because we are aware that you are more likely to have less thinking time.
This shouldn't be thought of as a slight but just us trying to take into consideration your lack of experience.
