Common Problems
Personality “Problems” (Not suited to Chinese society, not given the opportunity to express strengths, not properly socialized)
Develop good rapport and a strong relationship with student so that they can find their own voice in the classes taught by Western teachers, which are more flexible and welcoming of diverse opinions and personalities.
If the student fails to improve with increased attention it may be necessary to schedule student-teacher conferences and assign special projects to the student focusing on their strenghts. In addition, it may be necessary to provide counseling on how they can better fit in with their peers and society at large.

Emotionally/mentally challenged (psychological problem, learning disorder, behavioral issues)
-
-
Disengaged (lazy, discouraged, apathetic, depressed, rebellious)
Develop a relationship with the student, emphasize their strengths and endeavor to find the cause of their trouble. Once this has been identified, employ the appropriate strategy to address it
Over time, this approach should allow the teacher to try a variety of strategies to address the students' issues. After further ongoing-assessment, the effectiveness of these methods should be assessed. If no progress is made, it may be necessary to try alternative methods and/or involve school administrators and parents.

Overwhelmed (insufficient English level, too much work, poor study habits)
Provide student with instruction on useful study methods, time management and priorities
Follow up with the student to ensure that they are employing the various methods mentioned above. If there is no progress, speak to school admins and parents in an effort to adjust the student's workflow or personalize their educational experience better.
