Teacher support refers to the assistance that teachers offer to students in their studies and lives during education. Teacher support helps stimulate students' learning motivation, build strong teacher-student relationships, and assist students in becoming better learners. Teachers should offer appropriate academic guidance, balance the individual differences among students, provide autonomous support and targeted support, and guide students to develop a healthy self-awareness. The above are the necessary measures to enhance teachers' support. This research provides a theoretical reference for the scientific implementation of teacher support strategies and the construction of supportive classroom teaching.
