This is a great question. I would start by trying to find out what the student is interested in and try-if possible-to link that interest into the subject matter that you are teaching. This takes a lot of work and time, but it could be useful and maybe get the student somewhat engaged.
I would try to relate the subject to the student. Even if a student isn't related to math, maybe they love video games. If you can try to find a connection between the two things, you'll probably see interest grow. It could also be helpful to chat with the child and see why they dislike the subject. Perhaps they're just finding it difficult. Changing the way you're teaching might help a lot.
Try coordinating with the student's teacher in a subject in which they really like. Integrating the curriculum and having coordinated assignments could spark interest by making meaningful connections.
