Building Confidence with Numbers, Step by Step
Dyscalculia support isn't about forcing maths facts; it's about rebuilding a positive relationship with numbers. When a child finally sees that a percentage is just a fraction in disguise, or masters telling the time without anxiety, it's a huge moment. This foundational confidence is what turns dread into self-belief, giving them the tools to tackle not just exams, but everyday challenges, feeling capable and in control. It's the key to navigating their world with less stress and more success.

The Right Support for Your Birmingham Student
Finding a tutor who genuinely understands dyscalculia can change everything. It's about more than just maths; it's about seeing the world through your child's eyes. Our tutors are chosen for their empathy and expertise. They take the time to listen, to understand where the blocks are, and to celebrate every small win, creating a space where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. Imagine lessons where concepts are explained in a way that finally clicks. Instead of repetitive drills that cause frustration, a specialist tutor might use visual aids, real-world scenarios, or game-based learning to make numbers tangible. They'll work at your child's pace, patiently building the skills and strategies needed to approach problems, like those in the 11+, with a clear head and a steady hand. And all this happens online, from the comfort of your Birmingham home. There's no stressful travel after a long school day. You get access to the very best dyscalculia specialists from across the UK, not just whoever happens to be local. It's expert, tailored support that fits around your family's life, helping your child feel understood and ready for their next step.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the 11+ for Birmingham grammar schools, given their dyscalculia?
Yes, absolutely. We have experienced tutors who specialise in supporting learners with dyscalculia. They can help build the specific numerical reasoning and problem-solving skills required for the 11+, using strategies tailored to your child's way of thinking, giving them a fair chance to demonstrate their abilities.
We feel the standard Birmingham curriculum isn't enough. How is this different?
We completely understand. Our one-to-one online tutoring is designed to go beyond the standard curriculum. A specialist tutor can focus entirely on your child's individual needs, filling in gaps and building foundational understanding in a way that a busy classroom setting often can't.
How does online tutoring for dyscalculia actually work?
It's simple and effective. Your child connects with their tutor via video call in our online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, document sharing, and other tools that are perfect for visual learning. It provides the same dedicated, one-to-one support as in-person, but with more flexibility and access to specialists from anywhere.
What if my child doesn't get on with the first tutor we try?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If it's not the right fit after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor. We're here to help you find the perfect match.
How do you vet your dyscalculia tutors?
We're very selective and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All our tutors undergo a rigorous application process, including interviews and background checks. Those specialising in dyscalculia have proven experience and a deep understanding of how to support students with specific learning differences.
My child's confidence with numbers is very low. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. Many of the 200,000+ students we've helped started out feeling anxious. Our tutors create a patient, encouraging environment where it's okay to not know the answer, helping your child rebuild their self-belief one step at a time.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long. Most families find a weekly session works best to build momentum and maintain progress, but the frequency is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can we get help with subjects other than core academics?
Of course. Whilst we have specialists for core subjects like maths and English, we also have tutors for a huge range of other areas, from music and art to coding and new languages. It's all about helping your child explore their interests.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very straightforward. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install.
How much does online Dyscalculia tutoring cost for a student in Birmingham?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
Are the tutors familiar with the specific pressures of the Birmingham education system?
Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many have extensive experience supporting students through the 11+ and entrance exams for selective schools in competitive areas like Birmingham. You can discuss your child's specific goals and local context with tutors during interviews to find the best fit.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress, highlighting areas of improvement and discussing the plan for future sessions. You can message them anytime through our platform to ask questions or share updates from school.
