Is it okay to use お願いします when asking your teacher for help?


When asking a teacher for help, is it okay to use お願いします?

For example, asking to check my homework:

> 宿題をチェックしてお願いします。

To me, "Please check my homework." sounds kind of rude.

Would saying

> 宿題をチェックしてお願いできますか? (Would it be possible for you to check my homework?)

be any better ?




When you ask somebody senior to you for a favor, you’d better add his / her
”honorable” title, e.g. 先生、先輩、師匠、部長、女将さん、親方 before asking.

And if he or she is your teacher, I would say “先生、宿題をチェックして頂けますか？“ or
“先生、宿題のチェックをお願いできますか？“ However the latter sounds somewhat redundant to me.

“チェックしてお願いできますか？” is just like saying “Would you kindly check (my homework)
and may I ask?”, and is awkward in Japanese.
