Tutoring a child after school tomorrow and his mother reports that he is often afraid to ask for help in the classroom. She said she has tried encouraging him to ask for help but has been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any good strategies to use so that he may be more comfortable in his classes to ask for help? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As a tutor, you are not personally in the class but you could still help the student. Possibly by talking to them and building a relationship with them in order to make them feel more comfortable. But also showing them that they can build relationships with others they just have to be themselves and form a connection.
