I struggled with maths at school. Took me 3 goes to achieve a scrape an O level.
The issue was that quite early on during secondary education the teacher lost me and you cant build on a foundation that's sketchy. There's no further learning to be had.
I took this with me into my much later role as a trainer, constantly reinforcing that if someone wasn't fully understanding then asking for clarity, being approachable and regular knowledge checks /assessment. You can guarantee if one person isn't getting it they are not on their own.
