It may take a while for someone to take the courageous step of asking for help. Fear of the unknown and fear of failure are the biggest barriers someone can face when embarking on a learning journey.
Encouragement is important
Your ongoing encouragement will go a long way towards change. Gentle reminders, supportive words and actions will make a difference. If they do seek support, they will still appreciate you checking in to see how they are going with it. With encouragement, they are likely to continue to meet their goal.
