It's part of the learning process, I agree. But the manager also has a legitimate interest in keeping the mistakes from causing too much damage, thus the hovering. You can't legitimately complain about the hovering if you're making mistakes.
The learning process should mean you learn from your mistake and don't make it any more. Unless you're a very slow learner, that means that in most jobs, you'll soon be avoiding mistakes, and the hovering will stop. The bottom line is the same: if you want the hovering to stop, stop making mistakes.
