Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them secure the Grade 5 in GCSE Maths they need?
Absolutely. This is a goal we hear from many parents in Leicester. Our specialist Dyscalculia tutors are experienced in helping students overcome specific barriers to build the skills and confidence needed to target that crucial Grade 5 and open doors to their chosen sixth form.
Are your tutors familiar with the science A-Level requirements for competitive universities like the University of Leicester?
Many of our tutors are A-Level and university-level specialists themselves. They understand what's required for demanding science courses and can help your child build the foundational number skills not just for their GCSEs, but for the advanced study they're aiming for.
Is online tutoring really effective for a learning difference like dyscalculia?
Yes, it can be incredibly effective. Online sessions allow for the use of digital tools, interactive whiteboards, and visual aids that are perfect for different learning styles. It provides a focused, one-to-one environment where your child can feel comfortable asking questions without classroom pressure.
What if my child doesn't click with the first Dyscalculia tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee: if you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you find tutors who specialise in dyscalculia?
We have a rigorous selection process, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. You can use our platform's filters to find tutors who specifically state they have experience and training in supporting students with dyscalculia and other specific learning differences.
My child also struggles with number-based tasks in subjects like Science. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Many of our tutors can provide cross-curricular support. A Dyscalculia specialist can help your child apply number strategies to other subjects, like interpreting data in Biology or handling formulas in Physics, building their confidence across the board.
How much does online Dyscalculia tutoring cost for students in Leicester?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, typically ranging from £25 to £60 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your family's budget.
How long are the sessions and how often should my child have them?
Sessions are usually one hour long. Most families find that one session a week provides consistent progress, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child's needs and your schedule, directly with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help with the anxiety and low confidence that often comes with dyscalculia?
This is one of the most important parts of what our tutors do. By creating a safe, supportive space and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild a positive relationship with numbers. Seeing that they *can* make progress is often the biggest confidence booster of all.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our platform has a built-in video classroom with an interactive whiteboard, making lessons engaging and easy to join.
Do you offer tutoring for non-academic skills too?
Yes, we do! Whilst we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have experts who teach everything from coding and musical instruments to life coaching and public speaking. It's all about helping every learner pursue their interests.
How much does online Dyscalculia tutoring cost for students in Leicester?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can message them at any time to discuss progress, and together you can establish goals and see how your child is developing both their skills and their confidence over time.
