| Part of the task | A possible approach to discuss |
|---|---|
| Understanding the concept | Explain the relationship with a graph, example or verbal description. |
| Carrying out a calculation | Write each step clearly and check the size of the result. |
| Keeping track of algebra | Use consistent spacing and label substitutions before simplifying. |
| Using a method independently | Return to a similar question and reduce prompts gradually. |
Identify the precise sticking point
Use an attempted question to distinguish conceptual understanding from a numerical error or a lost step. Plan from that evidence.
Make checks part of the method
Estimate where useful, compare with a graph and check signs or units. Agree a small routine that you can use independently.
Practise without unnecessary speed pressure
Work towards fluency through suitable examples. Decide together when timed practice serves the learning goal.
Dyscalculia and general maths difficulty are not interchangeable
The British Dyslexia Association describes dyscalculia as involving difficulties with understanding and working with numbers. Its impact varies. Tuition should respond to the individual and does not provide a diagnostic assessment.
This page matches tutors who report experience. Read each profile and ask about relevant training, qualifications and examples of supporting A Level learners.
Discuss the level of challenge you want. Support can make a task more accessible while keeping the mathematical reasoning ambitious.
Discuss any assessment arrangements with your school or exam centre. A tutoring plan does not itself grant extra time or other adjustments.
Browse A-Level Maths tutors to compare the wider subject selection. You can also explore A Level Maths tutors with dyslexia experience.
Check individual profiles for qualifications, experience, prices and availability. Use a free 15-minute introduction to discuss your learning goals and decide whether the tutor’s approach suits you.
