How to talk to my teacher about my problems?. I am so scared and nervous I have never spoken to anyone before

Talking about our problems to someone requires a good amount of bravery. It is usually easier to open up to someone you are comfortable with. If you do have to communicate with your teacher about this, it could be a good idea to start the conversation by saying that you wish to share a problem with him/her and that you wish that the discussion remains confidential. Proceed when you have that assurance, and it could help you open up.

It depends on your problem. Is it academic-related? If so, then take a deep breathe ( dont forget to exhale) make yourself calm first. Remember teachers are there to help us/you. In school students are their priority. Though they have this skill to lead/facilitate students simultaneously, opening up your problem makes their work somewhat easy for them. This help them to understand you more better. Go back to your question, on a second time relax yourself. Nervousness is totally normal and teachers do understand you really. Tell your problem slowly. They are ready to listen to you patiently. It totally normal to be scared. They know it. After telling your problem wait for her/his answer. Then thank her/his afterwards. Hope it helps. God bless.

One of our most powerful strategies for teachers is to listen to their students, to learn who they are, and to find out what sparks their curiosity. Ask your teacher when will she be available? On her free time approach to her and tell her you have a problem that you need her experienced advice, whether it is a personal problem or issue related to you courses or grades, be honest and tell her what is bothering you. If you didn't talk to your teacher about your problem things might become worse, after all your grades are the most important. Be well prepared, list your concerns and questions on a paper and go ahead, give it a try, I am sure your teacher will try her best to comfort you with her answers.

Hey there! Does your school have accommodations? Most schools have them for students with mental illness or health issues. After you go through the process, they usually give you a letter and an id card to show your teachers. Also, check your syllabus. In all of my grad school syllabi it has a bunch of info about how they are required to ensure the educational success of accommodations students. That might help break the ice so to speak so that you feel more confident knowing the school recognizes what you are struggling with. And then, my suggestion is just to be honest and open. See if they have office hours, or email them to schedule something. I'm fairly certain that most professors are trained and must not discriminate you because of any issues you have, and knowing that may also make you feel more confident. Let them know that you are struggling with some things, and even though you hope they wont, that these things may affect your school work.

Hello. I can understand how you'd feel scared and nervous about talking to your teacher about your problems. I've been through this type of situation myself but I have found a way to approach the situation. Each year I receive new professors and the first thing I always do is think out how I want the conversation to go. This provides me with a outline of what I want to talk about and really get across. From there I ask the professor if there is a good time where I can talk with them 1-on-1. Right before I enter the room I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. When starting out I explain a little bit of my back history of the condition I have and why it should be relevant information to them. I stress how I need them to understand the information as my accommodations/needs are simply there to ensure I succeed in the best way possible I can. While it can be scary I highly encourage you to talk with your teacher. Most, if not all, of my teachers have wanted to see me succeed. Part of this involves them willing to work with a student to make sure that student has all resources possible they may need. We have to be our biggest advocates! Advocating is so important as how can a teacher help us succeed if they don't understand our problems? Good luck with your teachers!

I’m glad to hear that you have contemplated speaking to your teacher. Most students do not even consider it as an option. I understand you have some issues that you feel can be solved by your teacher. It could be anything from homework to not comprehending some lessons. Anyway, let’s understand that the primary role of a teacher is to facilitate your learning. Some of them may appear fearsome and angry but, they would be happy to help if you approach them. It’s part of their job to help you. Those teachers were also students once and they would understand it.

I know what it's like to be scared, remember to stay strong and know it's gonna be fine, just take your time and it doesn't matter if you cry/stumble because you are brilliant. Take your time and start to pick out what you are worried about. Make sure the teacher you are speaking to is someone you trust, and if that teacher does not make you feel better, try talking to another. Eventually you will find someone who will help you feel calm and you can work towards a logical solution together. I have talked to a teacher before and she was so supportive :)❤️

It is very courageous of you to open up, and that is something to be proud of. Your teacher is there to support you and to help you through your schooling experience. My best advice would be booking an office hour or asking them for some time and talk about your situation with them and how it affects you. They are very important for your success and they will help you in the best way possible to overcome and strive within the classroom. I know it can be stressful because, as you said, you have never talked to anyone before but believe me that they can be an amazing help!
