More on this:

Move your mouth as if you're going to say 'ch' (like 'cheek'), but don't say the word. Pause with your tongue in that position (on the roof of your mouth). Now instead of saying the 'ch' try saying 'sh', but with your tongue in that 'ch' position.

This should help you get on track to saying щ.
