asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a large Portsmouth academy like Priory or Mayfield. How can online tutoring help?
We understand that in a busy school environment, it's hard to get the focused, specialist support needed for dyscalculia. Our online tutors provide that dedicated one-to-one attention, creating strategies tailored specifically to how your child learns, complementing their schoolwork and filling in the gaps.
We're hoping for an engineering degree at the University of Portsmouth. Can a tutor help with that goal?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help build the core numerical and problem-solving skills essential for competitive courses. They focus on developing the underlying confidence and competence in maths that will be vital for success in a demanding degree like engineering or technology.
Is online tutoring as effective for dyscalculia as in-person?
Many parents find it's even more effective. Online sessions allow for the use of fantastic digital tools, games, and visual aids that can make concepts click. Plus, your child learns from a specialist chosen from anywhere in the UK, in the relaxed environment of your own Portsmouth home, which can significantly reduce learning anxiety.
What happens if the first tutor isn't the right fit for my child?
It's so important that your child feels comfortable and connected with their tutor. If the first session isn't a perfect match, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We will happily cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor to ensure you find the right person.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support learners with dyscalculia?
We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors have specific qualifications or extensive experience in teaching students with special educational needs, including dyscalculia. You can view each tutor's full profile, experience, and qualifications before you book, ensuring you find an expert who meets your child's needs.

What technology do we need for an online session?
It's very simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our platform, so there's no complex software to download.
How long will it be before we see a change in our child's confidence?
Every child is different, but the one-to-one attention from a specialist can make a difference quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a positive shift in their child's attitude and willingness to try within just a few sessions. The key is consistent, supportive guidance.
Can we arrange lessons to fit around after-school clubs and our work schedules?
Of course. That's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and schedule lessons for evenings, weekends, or whenever works best for your family's busy life in Portsmouth.
