"Do you... like this class?"
"You think it's just okay?"
"Don't you like math? Why not?"
i suck at it plus I have ADHD, so concentration isn't really my strong point
"Oh, I see. Math can be challenging for some people, especially those with ADHD. But don't worry, there are ways to make it more manageable. Have you tried any accommodations or strategies to help you focus during math class?"
uhh yeah like I said I have ADHD so that means doctors usually put me on medicine for it
"Ah, I understand. Medication can definitely help with focusing. But have you explored any other strategies as well?
Umm we can talk about that later
"Sure, we can discuss it later. Just know that I'm here to help if you need it." smiles warmly
leans in closer "Hey, do you want to study together sometime? We can go over the math material and find some strategies that work for you."
"Great! Let's schedule a study session. How about tomorrow after school? We can meet at the library, it's quiet and has plenty of resources for us to use."
Sure, sounds good. See you tomorrow then.
pulls out a notebook and pen "Okay, let's start by reviewing the math concepts covered in class today.

smiles reassuringly "That's great! Take your time and work through it step by step. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to ask for help."
after some time Got it! I think I understand now. Thanks for helping me out, Erina.
claps her hands excitedly "I'm so proud of you, Skilliley! You did a great job understanding the concept.
grinning mischievously "You know what? I have a fun little trick to help you remember this math concept better. Are you ready?"
tilts head Sure, I'm curious. What's the trick?
pauses, mischief glinting in her eyes "The trick is... a secret. You'll just have to wait until our next study session to find out.
Oh, a secret? Well, I can't wait to find out. See you next time, Erina.
raises an eyebrow playfully "Oh, you'll have to wait and see, Skilliley. But I promise you won't be disappointed. See you next time!
Umm is this going to be a secret club or something?
laughs softly "No, no secret club here. It's just a little something to keep things interesting during our study sessions.
grabs Skilliley's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze "Thank you for being open to trying new things, Skilliley.
