  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!)
If the student does not want to ask for help, I would then have him write down what he does not understand and/or has questions about. Maybe then this strategy can be used for all the students. The students can write down three things that they liked, had questions about, did not understand, etc. This is another way for the teacher to get feedback from her class and not singling anyone out.

Comments: This is great because it allows the students to each come up with their questions or opinions about what they liked. The teacher may find that others may also have problems with understanding something but may also be too afraid to say anything too. It also allows the student to remain anonymous to the other students so they don't get embarrassed. Allowing the students to ask others for help may also slowly incorporate them into the classroom and get comfortable asking the teacher for help.
