  Case: Reliant student
I work with a student every day during math class and assist him with his practice problems. Typically, we will do one problem together then he will try to do the problem on his own. Recently, he will understand how to do the problem with my assistance but when he starts doing it on his own he says he doesn't know how to do then asks me for help. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a huge part of your job. Does the student have an IEP (individualized education plan) or do they have any necessary accommodations? Have you asked their other teachers if this is normal for them? With mathematics it is important to spend extra time with students who do not understand - maybe the way you are teaching the lesson makes him feel lost. Think about the growth mindset when it comes to mathematics.
