Recommendation of Professor for MsC

Hello guys,

last year I attended one course taught by one professor from prestigious European school (think Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial) and he offered us help if we decide to apply to his school for MsC. I have just arranged meeting with him in late August.

What kind of help can professor actually give me in terms of enrollment to MsC, and what are the right ways to ask him. I am not shy person, but would not like to turn as too aggressive or sth. like that. Is it ok that I ask directly professor for recommendation? Due to no previous experience in finance, I was not in top of the class in course (not in first 5%), but I managed to get a pretty impressive internship this year. Also, any suggestion about how to approach to this conversation would be helpful.

Thank you in advance!
