I did very well at English at school, but failed hard at maths whilst freelancing from home after teaching myself PHP.
I really wish I'd engaged (and was taught) maths in the same way as I did with code - I remember feeling quite annoyed at the way I was being taught maths which was basically "when you see a question asked in this way, you answer it by following these steps". I think if I'd been taught maths through experimentation and having "projects" to solve in the same way I learned to code, I would've been quite a good maths student.
