Miki's problem isn't that she's shy. From her interactions with her mother, she is clearly energetic and outgoing. So why does she clam up when she's around me?
One problem that I know of is that her mother often listens to our tutoring session. Her mother is in the kitchen, which is adjacent to the room Miki and I are in, preparing dinner while I am there. Once, Miki was answering a question in English, and her mother became intrigued by hearing a string of English words coming from Miki, so she peeked around the corner to watch. Miki immediately stopped and was unable to finish.
The poor girl needs privacy! And I need to think of a way to politely say to her mother "Please don't do that!"
