Your problem was never effort. It was method.
You understand the ideas, but studying in a second language slows you down and your grades do not show what you really know. The usual advice is to try harder. It does not work, because what you really want is to learn just as fast as everyone else, so the language barrier stops holding your grades back. and more hours of the slow way will never get you there. You were never taught how to learn. That is the fixable part.
Here is the truth: it was never your effort. It was the method nobody taught you. School spent 12 years telling you what to learn, and not one minute on how. That gap is fixable, and faster than you think.

A real-world win
Wei, an international uni student
Wei lifted his grades by a full band and stopped feeling like the language gap was holding him back.
Wei understood his subjects, but reading and writing in English slowed everything down, and his grades did not reflect what he knew. With SMARTR he learned to focus on the core ideas first, then layer the language on top. He used memory techniques to lock in key terms and learned to summarise concepts in his own words. Studying got faster and less frustrating. His marks started to match his real understanding, not his reading speed.
