First off, teachers became a teacher because they wanted to help students. I have a few suggestions.
1. If you have a teacher that you are comfortable with even if it is for a different subject, talk with them and tell them that you are uncomfortable. This will probably lead to that teacher telling your geometry teacher that you could use extra help. The teacher will be the one to come to you.
2. You could try to see your teacher after school when no one is around and ask her/him for help with certain problems. Once you get a better feel for the teacher, you may feel comfortable to tell her/him that you need help.
3. You could possibly write a note on your homework (classwork) when you hand it in to tell the teacher that you really could use some extra help. The note could say, "I could really use help with geometry. Would you be willing to work with me?" This way no one in your class will know and you aren't asking the teacher face-to-face.
4. You could have your parents call the teacher for you and have them make some arrangement.
I know it is hard to ask for help. As far as what to ask...look at problems of what you are having difficulty with and ask questions with them. Teachers will respect you and be impressed by your desire to learn.
Just say that you are struggling a little and you need help.
Your teachers will appreciate the fact that you are trying to make good grades and you're actually trying.
First of all, you should NEVER be embarassed or uncomfortable about asking a teacher for help. Chances are if you're confused, so are other people. If I were you, I'd just go up to your teacher, maybe before or after class and tell him or her that you're having a hard time understanding some of the concepts and can they help you out. Ask if they have a homework help session or something. I hope this helps! Good luck!
The teacher will not look at you funny because that is what they are there for to help you succeed. I am a teacher and I have always needed help in math especially Geometry so you are not stupid by far. You may have a different learning style than the teacher is teaching, I learn by doing and repeating. Just wait until class is over and say that you need help make sure to mark some of the problems that you need help on. If students knew everything to know about a subject then we as teachers will be out of a job, so don't be afraid to ask.
here are some things that will get you results:
Hi, when would be the best time to talk to you about a few problems im having?
When you do talk to the teacher, never say "I dont get anything"
make sure you ask about specific problems you have examples for. Use the homework, or classroom set problems from your notes to ask the question. "i dont follow how you solved this problem"
Teachers are there to help. surprise yourself and just ask!
Good question. Honestly, if you're willing to try and willing to actually ask, any normal teacher will appreciate your effort and will be glad to help. Although I was in advanced math classes, I always felt like I was barely scraping by each year. If it wasn't for a friend of mine who is really great in math, I don't think I would have made it. Is there any way you can come in early or stay after school once or twice a week with the teacher or another student? If so, that's a great way to get the one-on-one help you need. Asking for tutoring shows a lot of initiative.
As for asking for help during class, you can always preface what you're asking with, "Okay, I understand that blah blah blah, but I don't know what to do after that." This not only lets the teacher know that you're trying, but it lets her know what you specifically need help with.
You should never be embarassed to ask for help, that is what teachers are for! Maybe before you ask for help, find certain things that you aren't understanding.
You could ask by going in early or staying late after class, writing a small note on your paper, e-mail your teacher, talk to your guidance counselor who can relay the message, ask your parents to call, or even if you have a friend that is comfortable around that teacher explain how you feel.
Good luck!
