I am currently a PhD student in mathematics and I have done a lot of tutoring/teaching math over my college career. One of the biggest issues that I’ve noticed in my classmates and students that struggle with math is this: They view math as memorizing a bunch of formulas and applying them. This is often how they were taught, and it''s horrible!

I was never especially gifted at mathematics, and I didn’t “love” mathematics in secondary school. There were a few things that helped me the 4th grade math course helped me the most. But I ended up completing an undergraduate degree in mathematics college. Your mileage may vary but I found that the first thing that happened was that I became fascinated with mathematics.
