Youâre not alone if struggling with Math.
Most people hate Math because they had a teacher who was not passionate to teach. Or who discouraged them when they didnât understand a Math concept quickly.
Not all teachers though.
I know some teachers out there do their best but a good number, out of frustration, actually discourage people who donât immediately understand what their teaching in a Math class.
Fast forward years later to this moment.
And it totally makes sense for you to be struggling with Math if your foundationâs already shaky.
So first things first, accept that your struggling is not because: đ Something is broken in you. đ Your brain is not wired for Math. đ Youâre just too dumb to ever understand Math youâre dumb.
Above everything else, your psychology to Math is the most important part to understanding Math. Actually, not just Math, itâs whatâs going to help you make some serious progress in any course youâre struggling with.
Use multiple sources to study when youâre struggling with Math.
This means you donât study with only one textbook, one tutorial, or only the material you get in your class.
Just because you donât understand something in your textbook or something your teacher explained doesnât mean youâll never get it.
Instead, you need to study the same thing but with different tutorials.
- Go on YouTube and search away.
- Search online forums like Reddit and Quora.
- Check blogs on Google to learn concepts that youâre missing.
The more, the better.
There are so many tutorials online. Like here for algebra lessons and this for calculus tutorials and also this if you hate Math.
