I teach math and many students enter the classroom already hating the subject. They think they are really bad at it and are terrified that they will fail. I need to make them feel successful and then make them enjoy the subject. It becomes a delicate balance because they can't enjoy it until they are successful but they fear it so much that they fail to realize at first that they can be successful. Once they start seeing true success, they start enjoying the class and they start being successful. The trick to show them true success not fake or candy-coated success. I love it when they say "Wow, I am good at this" because that's when they become good math students.
