Students that are to shy to even say name outloud

I have a student that is so shy knows the answers but just will say them outloud! Anyone know how to deal with this.

Darless, It's common for students to be shy or even a little scared. How can you help these kinds of students to feel more comfortable or less shy?
Dr. Jean Norris

I start the break the ice to know the student history with the university, family and hobbies. Then I began on the academic program, workload then I try to let me guide with his/hers way to do their study program. That's how they feel confidence with me and to continue their education.

I often will try to help the shyer students feel more comfortable by mirroring their own actions when we have a moment spend some time together. Once they realize that they are comfortable to communicate one on one they will slowly open up and feel more comfortable in a group.
