  Case: Too nervous to work
I have a student who get very nervous while working on his assignments. He starts day dreaming and when told to concentrate and do his work he fumbles with his pencil and second guesses himself often. I feel like he is afraid to be wrong and gets nervous because of it. How can I help him relax and trust himself?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try to work one-on-one with this student whenever possible. I would also try to smile more often so he feels welcomed within the classroom and give him positive feedback/word of encouragement when he does complete his work.
