More Than Maths: Unlocking Your Child's Problem-Solving Skills
Supporting a child with dyscalculia is about so much more than numbers on a page. It's about building the core skills of logic, reasoning and structured thinking. When a child learns to break down a numerical problem into manageable steps, they are also learning how to approach any complex challenge. This is the kind of thinking that underpins the innovation happening across Derby, from advanced manufacturing to creative tech. It's a skill that builds resilience and opens up futures you can be truly excited about.

The Right Support to Help Your derby Student Grow
The right tutor doesn't just teach; they listen. They take the time to understand exactly how your child sees numbers and where the confusion starts. For a student with dyscalculia, this is everything. It’s the relief of finally being understood, of having someone patiently explore different ways to explain a concept until it clicks. This is where confidence begins – not with getting every answer right, but with feeling safe enough to try. Imagine a lesson that doesn't feel like a maths lesson at all. Our tutors use interactive whiteboards, visual aids and real-world examples that connect with your child's interests. They might use the timings of a Derby County match to explain time, or the structure of a bridge to explore shapes. It’s about turning abstract numbers into something tangible and building practical strategies that your child can use in the classroom and beyond. Because every session is online, your family gets access to the UK's best dyscalculia specialists without having to travel a single mile from your home in Derby. It’s flexible support that fits around your life, not the other way around. We've helped over 200,000 students find their confidence, and we’re here to help your child find theirs too.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Dyscalculia Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child’s school in Derby seems overstretched. How is tutoring different?
We hear this from many parents. The key difference is the one-to-one focus. In a busy classroom, it's hard to get tailored support. An online tutor can dedicate the entire session to your child, adapting their methods to the way your child learns, and building the specific strategies they need to make progress and regain confidence.
Can a tutor really help my child build skills for a future in Derby's engineering sector?
Absolutely. Whilst we don't teach for specific apprenticeships, the support for dyscalculia focuses on the foundational skills those careers require: logical thinking, spatial reasoning, and methodical problem-solving. By building your child's confidence with numerical concepts, we help them develop a way of thinking that is valuable in any technical field.
Is online tutoring effective for a learning difference like dyscalculia?
Yes, it can be incredibly effective. Our online classroom features interactive whiteboards, screen sharing, and the ability to use colours and shapes to explain concepts visually. This makes abstract ideas much more concrete and allows tutors to tailor their approach in a dynamic, engaging way that really works for learners with dyscalculia.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support a child with dyscalculia?
We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, have degrees in relevant subjects, or have specific experience and training in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including dyscalculia. You can view each tutor's full experience and qualifications on their profile before booking.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if you don't feel the tutor is the right fit for your child after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online dyscalculia tutoring cost for a student in Derby?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform is browser-based, so there's no complex software to install. It's designed to be as easy and accessible as possible.
How often should my child have a session?
Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a frequency that works best for your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can tutoring help with my child's overall confidence, not just schoolwork?
This is often the biggest change parents tell us about. When a child starts to understand something they've always found difficult, that sense of achievement boosts their self-esteem in all areas of their life. It's not just about better marks; it's about them believing in their own ability to learn and overcome challenges.
My child is anxious about maths. How will a tutor handle that?
Our tutors are chosen for their supportive and patient approach. They understand that maths anxiety is real and their first priority is to create a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable making mistakes. They build confidence first, which makes learning the concepts so much easier.
Once my child feels more confident with numbers, do you offer tutoring in other subjects?
Yes, absolutely. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Science and English to skills like coding, music, and art. We can support your child's learning journey wherever it takes them.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. Many parents say the biggest sign of progress is seeing their child feel less stressed and more willing to tackle their homework.
