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!) My students get like this all the time. You need to be firm in your response that they know how to do it on their own. Remind them of times they have done it before and encourage them.
