Where can I begin studying GR with a basic math background?

First of all, I'm new here, so hello everyone!

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong thread,
I recently started getting into high-ish physics in general, so I'm coming from a low-ish background in the way of math- a couple courses of calculus (single variable covering the basics of the limits and derivatives.. that's about it.) along with high school math of course. I was wondering where to start studying GR, and of course what sort of prerequisites I might need.

A student I mentor took this course (through Coursera) a couple years ago while in high school and was well prepared for his undergraduate GR course at a top 30 university. But the undergrad GR course is aimed at non-science majors so is pretty light on the math. Being a physics major he is finding it interesting, but not particularly challenging.

But the approach one takes to GR depends strongly on one's existing background and how much you are willing to strengthen it before really jumping into GR.

Thanks; I'll check it out.
