Every student has strengths and weaknesses when it comes to academics. In a competitive city like Kolkata, where students face the pressures of CBSE, ICSE, and state board curriculums, it’s natural for some subjects to feel harder than others. But have you ever wondered which subject students actually struggle with the most—and why?
At Learn Kolkata, we interact with hundreds of students and parents every month. Based on our experience and feedback, we’ve identified the top problem subjects and the real reasons behind those struggles. More importantly, we explain how the right tutoring support can make a life-changing difference.
Top 5 Subjects Students Struggle With Most
1. 🧮 Mathematics
Math is the most commonly feared subject among students, especially from Class 6 to Class 12. Topics like algebra, trigonometry, and calculus often create confusion.
Common challenges:
-
Weak foundational concepts
-
Lack of practice and real-life application
-
Anxiety during tests
2. 🔬 Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
Science becomes more complex as students progress through grades. Physics and Chemistry in particular involve both theory and application, which can overwhelm students.
Why it’s difficult:
-
Concept-heavy subjects
-
Memorization + numerical problem-solving
-
Abstract topics like electricity or chemical reactions
3. 📘 English
While many students understand English at a basic level, they often struggle with grammar, essay writing, and comprehension.
Typical weak areas:
-
Writing structured answers
-
Vocabulary and sentence formation
-
Fear of public speaking in English
4. 🏛️ Social Studies
History, Civics, and Geography are often viewed as “boring” or memorization-heavy. But understanding cause-effect, timelines, and map work is critical for good scores.
Problems faced:
-
Too many dates and facts to remember
-
Low interest or connection to the topics
-
Poor presentation in answers
5. 🗣️ Second Languages (Hindi, Bengali, Sanskrit)
Many English-medium students in Kolkata struggle with second languages due to less exposure at home or lack of speaking practice.
Challenges:
-
Grammar and translation
-
Essay or letter writing
-
Lack of confidence in speaking fluently
Why Do Students Struggle With These Subjects?
Many factors contribute to academic difficulty:
-
One-size-fits-all teaching methods in schools
-
Lack of personalized attention in large classrooms
-
Learning gaps from previous years
-
Fear of asking questions in class
-
Pressure from parents or peers
These struggles, if not addressed early, can lead to poor performance and low self-confidence.
How to Know if Your Child Is Struggling
Parents should look out for these warning signs:
-
Drop in marks in one or two specific subjects
