How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?
If a student in struggling with a particular subject, I believe that breaking the topic down into smaller, less-intimidating parts will greatly increase a student's self-confidence. Increased self-confidence can then lead to a more positive outlook toward the subject matter as students develop basic skills needed to master more complicated concepts. Additionally, having a tutor who is enthusiastic about the material can provide further support to students who might otherwise find a subject too intimidating.
