Math can be a very difficult and frustrating subject, and students truly enjoy achieving the ???light bulb??? moment where a challenging topic suddenly makes sense. We can work toward this "lightbulb" moment together by finding out where the student has difficulties, and trying different learning materials to overcome these obstacles.
