  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?

I think it's important to get to know the student and let them get to know you so that they feel comfortable. If the student is afraid to ask for help in the classroom, it may be because they don't know the teacher that well or they think the teacher might get mad if they don't understand it the first time. I would tell the student to stop me at any time if they don't understand it, and I would also stop frequently in between my lessons to ask the student if they understand or if they have any questions. You could also communicate this issue to the child's teacher, who may need to stop and check for comprehension more often in the classroom. The teacher could also develop a signal for the student to use if they need help but do not want to ask out loud in front of the class.
