Right. Part of becoming an adult is also learning to reach out to other people in the class. Who knows. Maybe they don’t see it as a bother. She can also negotiate a mutually beneficial relationship (tutoring for cookies?) Maybe just a promise to do something good for them in the future.
BTW, while MatLab might have some concepts that really require a basic stats background, a lot of it is not that involved (logic, basic math, etc.) Can she break down her difficulties? Like, what specifically is she struggling with? Profs may not be helpful because they probably are so far above her level that they can’t comprehend why she has trouble. For instance, if someone in grade school is struggling with (55+11)/6, a math prof may not be the best tutor because she may not even know how to begin to make that problem simpler.
