Hm. My first instinct would be to observe, but I see that's already happening. However, I would see if the student is attempting parts of the assignment and finding out from that what help may be needed.

After that, perhaps a "Need some help?" question would be useful. It depends heavily on the kind of material the student is working on as well as the student's level of comfort with the teacher.
