Remind students that each problem relies on a specific set of knowledge; not understanding a particular problem doesn't mean they’re stupid, it’s an opportunity to work hard and learn more.
Create environments for beginning students where the prospect of making a mistake is not intimidating. That way, they’re less likely to get discouraged.
Motivate your students by setting goals and connecting with them individually.
