Low confidence keeps students from trying their best. Tutoring encourages them, celebrates small wins, and helps them recognize their strengths so they approach challenges with resilience and self-belief.

Confidence Building and Self-Esteem Challenges in Academic Performance

Confidence shapes how students approach every challenge. Those with low self-esteem may hesitate to participate, shy away from new material, or see mistakes as failures instead of opportunities to grow. Without a strong sense of self-belief, even capable students may underperform and miss chances to show what they truly know.

  • Gets upset easily when making mistakes
  • Hesitates to take on new or challenging work
  • Compares themselves negatively to other students

Solutions

  • Think about past successes when you feel stuck
  • Tell yourself, “I can improve if I keep practicing.”
  • Try new challenges one step at a time.
  • Use positive self-talk to strengthen resilience
