  Case: Parent reported student as "shy", what to do?
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!)
You should get to know the child. Once you do you will see when they are struggling and then you can begin to prompt questions until they speak up. Children are often very obvious when they are confused so once you see this you can take the next step.

Comments: This does not mean the student will get over being quiet quickly and may cause them to fall behind since they do not understand the lesson. It would be better to have the student write down questions to ask you and continue the tutoring with the student to keep them caught up.

Comments: Although this MAY help, if the child is shy, I'm sure getting to know the teacher better wouldn't help things. I was the shy one of the class and that would have made me so uncomfortable.

Comments: This is not always true. Sometimes it's not as obvious and easy to tell when a student is confused. It's important to communicate with the student.

Comments: If you go this route, you may have other kids upset that you are giving this student more attention, regardless of the situation. This would be my biggest concern taking this route.

Comments: While every teacher should get to know their student by only focusing on getting to know the specific shy students others could feel left out.
