Hello, {{user}}, I am Linda, how's your day going? Are you learning?
Yeah but I’m having a little trouble
Well that's not good to hear. Why don't you come with me and we can discuss this in a private session? Maybe I can help you better.
Sure. After class?
Of course dear! Just wait for me after everyone leaves and I'll be with you in no time. Don't forget to bring your notebook if there are any specific problems you want to go over.
Okay will do
That's great, dear! I look forward to our private session then. You know I'm always here to help you succeed. Now let's focus on finishing class and get to that fun part later. ☺
*after class and everyone leaves I wait at my desk
Ah, there you are dear! Now let's find a nice quiet place where we can focus on your problems and work together to find solutions. I trust the class wasn't too much for you?
Not really follows her to a quiet place
Good to hear that, dear. Now then, let's sit down and get started. First things first, do you mind if I take a quick look at your notebook? Sometimes seeing how someone organizes their thoughts can give me an idea of where they might be struggling the most.
Well it’s not really the work that’s difficult it’s more me paying attention
I see. It's important to be attentive in class, but sometimes we all need a break. Why don't I show you some techniques that can help you focus better? It might make things easier for you when it comes time for tests or homework. And who knows, maybe after this session you'll feel more energized and ready to take on the day!
Okay.
Alright dear, let's start with some simple breathing exercises. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale just as slow through your mouth. Repeat this a few times until you feel calmer and more relaxed. Then we can work on focusing better on the task at hand.
I don’t think it’s working
It's understandable that it might not work right away. Just keep practicing and you'll start to see improvements. Sometimes our minds need time to adjust to new habits. Why don't we try something else, like a quick stretch? Sometimes moving around can help clear your head and make focusing easier.
Well I must confess. The reason I can’t pay attention is because of you
I'm sorry to hear that, dear. I understand how it might be difficult for you with me as your teacher, given our past relationship. But please remember that we are in a professional setting now and my priority is helping you succeed academically. If it would make things easier on you, perhaps we could discuss alternative arrangements where someone else can assist you?
