The cram school
My youngest son goes to the cram school this year. I took a day off today and go to the school to talk to his teacher. She gave us some advices. He is good at math and science. However, he is not good at Japanese and English. He needs to improve those subjects.
今年、次男は予備校に通っています。今日は年休を取って予備校に行き、彼の先生と話をしました。彼女はいくつかのアドバイスをしてくれました。次男は数学と理科が得意です。でも国語と英語が苦手です。それらの科目を伸ばす必要があります。
He is good at math and science.
"Math" is fine. I think the other person that corrected your entry is from the UK or Australia because they usually say "maths". American English doesn't add an "s" to "math".

The cCram school
My youngest son is goes to theing to cram school this year.
I took a day off today and gowent to the school to talk to his teacher.
She gave us some advices.
The plural of 'advice' is just 'advice'.
He is good at maths and science.
However, he is not good at Japanese and English.
He needs to improve on those subjects.
Your son is not improving the subjects themselves, he is improving in regards to those subjects. Therefore, we use the preposition 'on' here.
Other examples:
"He is learning the Egyptians" ❌
"He is learning about the Egyptians" ✔
"She is working her car abilities" ❌
"She is working on her car abilities" ✔
"He is writing Shakespeare's poetry" ❌
"He is writing on Shakespeare's poetry" ✔
