Hi Charles, you can investigate a little about growth mindset here. I personally think the mindset is the biggest factor when doing a task, no matter your age. Hope this helps!

Hi, I'm 43 and learning everyday thanks to Khan Academy. I think learning is a mindset, it's never too late.
- I was always lame in mathematics, and quite afraid by it. I try to learn some every week, just to be sure I'll be able to help my kid when he'll be learning calculus and the rest.
- Maths are also supposed to help me learn coding, which I decided to learn 2 years ago.
Learning is hard, and I think the older you are, the slower it is, but it is rewarding. It takes time but you feel the results quit quickly. Hang on and go on!

Hi Charles,
Jett said it best but I also want to share my own feedback take it from someone who knows I am 25 and always been slow at reaching milestones without going into complete details I didn't learn to speak til the age of three for me growth mindset works at any age no matter where or or how you start it's your own determination that gets you to the game things don't come naturally to me but I learned more by failing and picking myself back up this is how growth mindset works 😉 you just have to try and try again until you reach where you want to go as I always said to everyone on Khan Academy its not how fast you reach the mountain top it's about enjoying the journey getting there often when we are young we push ourselves ahead to get to the top with slowing down you are able to appreciate the value of education more which is the privilege for me of being slightly different then others 😀.
