I am not a maths major, however as I currently self-studying Mathematics, so I hope this would come as a good reference points for you.

[1] : Schaum's series Really good textbooks on basic maths, helped me a lot on those maths modules during my study.

[2] : Any Massive Open Online Course of your choices. I am currently using MIT OCW. They are basically an Undergrad Course minus interaction with lecturer. You should ask some of your maths friends to help you out. Good, intuitively explanation in person helps a lot.

[3] : And last but not least, have fun while doing it. You can participate in maths competition, watch Youtube videos( 3Blue1brown / Numberphile) Read Magazines and Journals too, admires the Apollonian aesthetic of Mathematics.

Maths is one of the few subjects where nature > nurture, I think ( and observed). But take heart.
