Responding to his request for help by saying "How can I help you?"

It's important for me to ask my questions politely. The problem is that I even don't know how to start. This is what I want to say : Hello Mr X. I am Mr Y from Z-university. I have some questions about big data analysis. Can I ask them of you? Note : I know that it may be ridiculous for English people to ask it this way.

2020年12月18日 · I would like to politely ask my professor to meet me sometime soon.
