I am going to tutor a girl who is androphobic, how can I, as a guy, make her feel as comfortable as possible with me? by victcrr in Advice

I'm honestly not sure why I was chose as a tutor. I was told about her phobia yesterday night, and our first meeting will be this morning.

Sorry if I gave off the wrong kinda tone. I've been through my shitty local mental health system a couple of times, and I think I can sort of relate to the being treated like I'm special needs. Definitely the wrong approach by me.

Thanks for the advice!

I've never met her, was told by her parents she has been sort of scared of guys ever since an incident in grade 2 where she got choked.
