Unless you're Young Einstein we have all needed a little push when it comes to certain subjects.
For me it was Maths, I am a certified Mathlexic so my mammy organised some grinds to help me escape my Pythagoras hell. It worked.

Tell you what. Give me Fortnite Grinds over Maths anyday!
Parents are now reportedly hiring tutors to help their children master the sensational video game, @Fortnite. https://t.co/Mi5H7GVTkt pic.twitter.com/uw481gpXDI
