So make yourself available to your student. You might invite him to join you for a cup of coffee or a walk. In such an informal setting, you may be able to help him to open up about his challenges. Encourage your student to make any necessary adjustments, not to please you, but to show his love for Jehovah.

Your role can compared to that of a schoolteacher. Thinking back to your school days, what kind of teacher did you like best? Probably it was the teacher who patiently helped you to build confidence in your abilities. In similar way, a good Bible teacher does not just teach what God wants us to do but also assures his student that with Jehovah's help he can make the necessary adjustments in his life. How can you do that?
