It's one thing to see your child find numbers frustrating. It's another to look at futures at Keele or Staffordshire University and worry that one subject, GCSE Maths, could become an impossible barrier. You know they're bright and capable, but dyscalculia can make them feel like they're falling behind.
But this isn't a journey you or your child have to navigate alone. From your home in Stoke-on-Trent, we can connect you with a specialist tutor, a partner who truly understands dyscalculia and knows how to rebuild confidence, one step at a time.

A Partnership to Rebuild Your Child's Confidence with Numbers
This is about more than just passing an exam. It’s about giving your child the tools to feel in control of their future. Imagine them confidently managing a student budget at Staffordshire University, or feeling ready to tackle data in a science course at Keele. When they work with a tutor who gets it, they don't just learn methods—they learn to see numbers as a tool they can master, not a wall blocking their path.

Together, We Can Make Numbers Make Sense
It all starts with a simple, powerful step: listening. A great tutor first seeks to understand your child's world—how they see numbers, where the frustration begins, and what makes them anxious. This isn't just about teaching formulas; it's a partnership built on patience and trust, creating a safe space where 'I don't get it' is the start of a breakthrough, not a moment of failure. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is in compassionate, expert hands. Imagine lessons that sidestep the usual stress. Instead of just staring at a worksheet, your child and their tutor might use visual blocks to understand fractions or turn times tables into a game. They’ll work through real GCSE-style problems, breaking them down into manageable pieces until the logic clicks into place. It’s this tailored approach that transforms moments of panic into flashes of understanding, building skills and self-belief together. This dedicated support fits right into your life in Stoke-on-Trent. No extra travel after a long school day, just effective, one-to-one learning from the comfort of home. By going online, your child gets access to the UK's best Dyscalculia specialists, not just whoever happens to live nearby. It’s flexible, focused support that gives your child the best chance to show what they can really do.

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
We're aiming for Keele or Staffordshire University, but GCSE Maths is a real worry due to dyscalculia. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for families in Stoke-on-Trent, and it's exactly where a specialist tutor can make a difference. They'll work with your child to build foundational skills and develop specific strategies for tackling GCSE Maths questions, turning a major hurdle into a manageable challenge.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a child with dyscalculia?
Yes, and for many students, it's even better. Our online classroom has interactive tools like whiteboards that are perfect for visual learning. Plus, learning from a comfortable home environment in Stoke-on-Trent can reduce anxiety, allowing your child to focus completely on their session with a specialist from anywhere in the UK.
My child attends a high-achieving school and feels behind their peers. Can you help?
We understand that pressure. A one-to-one tutor can provide a confidential, supportive space for your child to work at their own pace, away from classroom pressures. They can go over topics as many times as needed to build the solid understanding and confidence required to keep up and thrive.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Dyscalculia tutor?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, 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 find tutors who specialise in dyscalculia?
We have a rigorous selection process, and only 1 in 8 applicants are successful. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, have specific SEN experience, or hold degrees in related fields. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience with dyscalculia, to find the perfect partner for your child.
What do we need to get started with online tutoring?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or tablet, a stable internet connection, and a quiet place to learn in your Stoke-on-Trent home. Our platform has a built-in video chat and interactive whiteboard, so no special software is needed.
How often should my child have a session?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for consistent progress without feeling overwhelming. However, you and your tutor can create a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine, whether that's more frequent sessions before an exam or fortnightly check-ins.
How much does online Dyscalculia tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our website to find an experienced specialist who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child also struggles with their confidence in science. Do you offer tutors for other subjects?
Yes, we do. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core academics like Science, English and Maths, to practical skills like coding and music. You can find all the support your child needs in one place.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on what they've covered and how your child is progressing. The biggest signs, though, often come from your child themselves—when they start tackling homework with less fuss, feel more positive about school, or have that 'aha!' moment when a concept finally clicks.
Can tutoring help with the anxiety that comes with dyscalculia?
It absolutely can. A good tutor does more than just teach; they build confidence and reduce maths anxiety. By creating a patient and encouraging environment, they help your child see that they are capable of understanding, which can have a huge positive impact on their overall wellbeing.
How often should my child have a session?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, not specifically in Stoke-on-Trent. This is the great advantage of online tutoring—it gives your child access to the very best specialists in the country, regardless of geography. They learn with an expert from the comfort of their own home.
