Yes! This always helped me, they would always offer if I'd like to do it as a one on one instead of in front of the whole class. My public speaking is horrific and always has been so I always took them up on the offer. Even if you do present in front of a larger audience it's a big help knowing you have a "friend" there who's listening to you and not judging. Speak to them while you're doing it but not directly, just in your head tell yourself it's just you and that teacher who knows about your stutter and is more interested in the topic at hand. Good luck!
