She always asks for help although you believe she is in no need of it. She also constantly requests for you to look over her work to make sure she is doing it correctly. This is keeping you from assisting other students. How do you handle the situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would be very straightforward in this situation. This student must learn that the world doesn't revolve around her and that she shouldn't expect to immediately receive everything she wants (in this case, your attention). I would assist other students before her and save her for last and also encourage her to ask her classmates for help before she comes to me so that maybe they can satisfy her need.
