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.

Frequently asked questions

Do the tutors hold specialist dyscalculia qualifications?

This page matches tutors who report experience. Read each profile and ask about relevant training, qualifications and examples of supporting A Level learners.

Can lessons still be academically challenging?

Discuss the level of challenge you want. Support can make a task more accessible while keeping the mathematical reasoning ambitious.

Can the tutor arrange exam adjustments?

Discuss any assessment arrangements with your school or exam centre. A tutoring plan does not itself grant extra time or other adjustments.
