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 has dyscalculia, and I'm worried about them keeping up with peers from schools like St Peter's or in the Fulford catchment. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern we hear from parents in York. A specialist dyscalculia tutor can provide one-to-one, tailored strategies that aren't always possible in a busy classroom. They focus on building foundational understanding and confidence, giving your child the specific tools they need to close any gaps and participate fully and confidently in their schoolwork.
Can a specialist tutor help my child build the numerical confidence needed for a competitive course at the University of York?
Yes. Many university courses, even in arts and humanities, require a level of quantitative skill. Our tutors can work with your child on the specific numerical and data-interpretation skills relevant to their desired field of study, helping them feel prepared and confident in their application and future academic life.
Is online tutoring for dyscalculia as effective as meeting someone in person?
We find it's even more effective for many learners. Online sessions allow the use of interactive digital tools, games, and resources that make abstract concepts much clearer. Crucially, it gives your child in York access to a nationwide pool of genuine dyscalculia specialists, not just whoever happens to live nearby.
How do you find a tutor who specifically understands dyscalculia?
You can use the filters on our platform to find tutors with specific experience in SEND, including dyscalculia. Many tutors highlight this specialism in their profile, where you can read about their approach, experience, and reviews from other parents. You can message them first to ensure they're the right fit.
What if we try a tutor and it's not the right fit for my child?
Finding the right connection is everything, and we want you to be 100% happy. If the first session isn't a perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk. We'll be happy to cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked and qualified?
Yes, completely. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process and has a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
We're focusing on dyscalculia now, but do you offer tutoring for other subjects for students in York?
We do. We have expert online tutors across more than 300 subjects, from core GCSE and A-Level subjects like English, History, and the sciences, to music, coding, and languages. Whatever your child needs support with, we can help you find a great tutor.
How much do online dyscalculia tutors cost for learners in York?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of specialism. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How long will it take to see a change in my child's confidence with numbers?
Every child is different, but progress often comes from consistency. Many parents tell us they see a shift in their child's attitude and confidence within just a few sessions. The goal is to build skills and self-belief steadily over time, creating a lasting positive change.
What technology do we need for an online lesson?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download. It's designed to be secure and easy to use.
Can tutoring fit around our busy family schedule?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can schedule sessions at times that suit you and your child – whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays. You're not limited by travel time, making it much easier to fit into a packed York schedule.
We're focusing on dyscalculia now, but do you offer tutoring for other subjects for students in York?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with a range of learning needs, including dyslexia, ADHD, and autism spectrum conditions. You can use our search filters or read tutor profiles to find someone with the specific experience you're looking for.
