Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has dyscalculia, and I'm worried they'll be excluded from STEM pathways at the University of Sheffield. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for parents in Sheffield. A specialist tutor works on building the foundational logic and problem-solving skills that underpin all STEM subjects. They use tailored strategies to rebuild number confidence, ensuring dyscalculia doesn't become a barrier to your child's ambitions in our city's thriving tech and engineering sectors.
With the high standards at schools like Tapton and Silverdale, how can online tutoring help my child keep up?
We understand the pressure. Tutoring provides a private, supportive space for your child to work at their own pace, away from classroom pressures. A tutor can pre-teach topics, consolidate what was covered in school, and focus on specific areas of difficulty, giving your child the tools and confidence to participate fully in a fast-paced academic environment.
Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Sheffield schools?
Yes, all our tutors are experts in the UK National Curriculum, which forms the basis of teaching in all Sheffield state schools. They are experienced in tailoring their support to the specific exam boards and learning objectives relevant to your child's year group, ensuring their work is always perfectly aligned with their school studies.
Is online tutoring as effective as face-to-face for a learning difference like dyscalculia?
It can be even more effective. Online sessions use interactive tools, whiteboards, and visual aids that are fantastic for students who learn differently. Plus, your child learns from home, a comfortable and low-stress environment. Most importantly, it gives your Sheffield-based child access to the best Dyscalculia specialists from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first Dyscalculia tutor we try?
Finding the right personality fit is crucial, and we want you both to be happy. If the first session isn't a perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your tutors are qualified to support students with Dyscalculia?
We take this very seriously. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or have specific training and extensive experience in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including dyscalculia. You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much do online Dyscalculia tutors cost for a student in Sheffield?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £25, based on their experience and qualifications. You can browse tutors' profiles and filter by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or commitments.
What technology do we need for an online tutoring session?
It's very simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our custom-built online classroom has all the tools your child and their tutor need, including an interactive whiteboard, right in your web browser.
Can tutoring also help with the emotional side of dyscalculia, like maths anxiety?
Yes, this is one of the most important aspects of what our tutors do. They are experts at creating a positive and encouraging environment. By breaking down problems into manageable steps and celebrating progress, they help to replace anxiety and frustration with confidence and a sense of achievement.
We're focused on Dyscalculia now, but do you offer tutoring for other subjects?
We do. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academic topics like English and Science to skills like coding, music, and foreign languages. We're here to support your child's learning journey, whatever their interests or needs may be.
How flexible is scheduling a session?
Extremely flexible. You can arrange session times directly with your chosen tutor to fit around your family's busy schedule, whether it's evenings, weekends, or during school holidays. Online tutoring is designed to work for you.
How much do online Dyscalculia tutors cost for a student in Sheffield?
Every child is different, but many parents tell us they notice a change in their child's attitude and confidence after just a few sessions. The consistency of patient, one-to-one support can make a huge difference very quickly, helping them feel more positive about their abilities.
