Because the subjects use completely different skills. Mathematics is logical and is all about working out equations to find the right answer. It is very methodical. English is creative and about interpreting literature and communicating ideas so other people can understand them and envision it. Any answer can be right as long as you can persuade the reader. According to biological psychologists, testosterone in males gives them superior mathematical skills and oestrogen in females gives them superior verbal skills. And we all know that testosterone and oestrogen have the opposite effect. However, it should be borne in mind that some people are good at both subjects.

Why is it that some people are good at math but bad at essay writing?
Math is: you get problems, you solve them. English is: you get a topic, and you write anything you want, as long as it pertains to the topic. They are obviously not the same thing, so you will have people who are bad at English, who just happen to be good at Math.
Why are some people naturally good at math?
Have you heard of left brain-right brain? Left-brain thinkers are (usually) good at mathematics because they are logical, rational, analytic, etc., which are aspects of math. Right brain thinkers are (usually) good at English because they are more social, linguistic, see the big picture, and are half the time religious, which are aspects of English class. Left brain is to math, like Right brain is to English. Look up MBTI on google to see your personality type. I am an INTJ - Introversion, iNtuitive, Thinking, Judgmental. It is because of this I excel in math, but I don't like English.
Why students who are good in math are not good in English?
Because of the way the brain works, some people are good at both, and some are good at one but not the other
Why is English class more difficult for me if I'm good at Mathematics?
Perhaps not exactly BECAUSE you are good at math; being good at one thing doesn't necessarily mean you have to be bad at everything else. However, you must recognize that different people have different preferences, and different skills.
Why are people who are experts at math terrible at programming and vice versa?
Not necessarily, in fact, being good at math helps you calculate things in programming. You just need some practice and really good math and English skills
