3. Poor Basic Arithmetic Skills • If students lack a foundation in math, they will become more frustrated as the concepts become more complex. • Struggling math students need to receive one-on-one tutoring immediately before it's too late!

4. Poor Study Skills • Students need to be taught effective ways to study. •  Students need to see the value in studying.
