  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!)
I would try breaking the lesson or problem into parts or steps. Then reminding the student the name or number of the step when they begin to struggle. This will help them remember the steps and build their confidence so they don't need you to do it every time.
