Math Tutor – Oceanside: Anxiety
by Stuart Raffeld
Math anxiety is a tricky thing to conquer, because unlike other forms of anxiety, you can’t necessary teach someone to completely avoid anxiety if they are struggling to solve a problem. Some level of anxiety is natural, and some people believe that overconfidence (ie, no anxiety) may cause issues as well.
Clearly the best way to reduce that anxiety is studying, because the more the student is used to solving a problem, the less intimidating the problem becomes.
