If I were you, I would...

A frustration I hear from a lot of parents is that the way kids are trying to learn or study is different from how they would act if they were trying to learn something. Despite individual preferences and generational differences, there are some universal truths about learning.

Multi-modal teaching and learning is most effective:
If you see it, you may learn it. 
If you hear it, you may learn it.
If you engage in or practice it, you may learn it.
If you do all three of these things- see, hear, and do- you're more likely to learn it.

Spaced repetition is preferable over "cramming":
People are more likely to learn- and retain!- information when they work on learning it multiple times, and over multiple days. 

You're more likely to learn something if you're interested in it and believe you can learn it:
Find a hook into the topic that keeps your attention, and figure out how the content applies to everyday life. Make it relatable in some way. If you think you will never "get it," you may be right. If you attempt to learn something and have the mindset that you'll "get it" with hard work and time, you're so much more likely to be successful.
