Dyscalculia Tutoring

For students with dyscalculia, math can feel confusing, overwhelming, and impossible to master, no matter how hard they try. Parents often notice their child avoids math homework, feels anxious during lessons, or gets stuck on basic number facts long after classmates have moved on.

At APLUS America, we specialize in dyscalculia tutoring that breaks numbers down step by step, filling in gaps brick by brick until confidence starts to grow.

What dyscalculia looks like in everyday life

Parents of children with dyscalculia often describe situations like:

  • Difficulty recognizing numbers or connecting them to real quantities (“;5” doesn’t mean “five things”).
  • Trouble recalling basic math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication tables).
  • Struggling with sequences (counting forward and backward, following multi-step problems).
  • Avoiding math homework because it feels like an endless battle.
  • Getting anxious or shutting down when numbers come up in class.

This isn’t about laziness or lack of effort - dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that requires a different approach to teaching math.

Step 1
Student Assessment


Every child learns at a different pace and has different tutoring needs. We assess your child to identify what your child does and does not know, including the knowledge gaps holding your child back.

Step 2
Personalized Learning


Every week we create a new online lesson plan especially for your child. Our lesson plans target the knowledge gaps, so that they are ready to forge ahead. No guessing what to do next, simply log in and do the lessons set especially for you.

Step 3
Tutor Support


Our interactive lesson plans are supported by our tutor team. Just pick up the phone and speak to one of tutors to discuss your child’s progress. Kids can even speak to our tutors for extra help with any question on the program.

Step 4
Rewards & Motivation


Earn points as you learn. Cash in points for real rewards such as iTunes vouchers. It is amazing how effective a little reward and recognition can be.

Why tutoring for dyscalculia students needs to be different

Instead of just repeating classwork as standard math tutors do, we strengthen the foundations. We assess your child to identify gaps in their learning, then rebuild from the bottom up with clear steps, interactive lessons, and tutor support. Each concept is mastered before the next is added, so topics like fractions, division, and algebra finally stick.

That’s why families need a math tutor for dyscalculia who can rebuild from the ground up - patiently, clearly, and at the child’s pace.

Success Stories

Child with ADHD/Anxiety - Success! We are so happy with this program! Our 10yr old has severe ADHD and Anxiety and we have struggled for years with homework. Homework efforts would result in tears and frustration but now we have a child who actively engages in his online lessons and celebrates his achievements. He is gaining confidence and is starting to catch up to his grade level. We can't wait to see what the future holds and to see him reach his potential! Carolyn
Wished we joined earlier! We started APLUS America a few months ago. We never expected such outstanding results. We saw an improvement from week one! Our child has ASD and ADHD and has always needed a little more help. We have not looked back since joining APLUS America. Our daughters school even approached us asking what we were doing as our daughter had advanced in such a short amount of time. Our daughter quickly went from shutting down during math to achieving 100% on math sheets and tests. We can't thank this program enough. L Mowbray
Amazing improvement in confidence My 8 year old (ASD, ADHD) started in January this year and we are already seeing a dramatic improvement in his confidence - everyday last year i had to personally take him to his classroom where he would beg me not to leave him there plus every night and morning he would beg not to go to school. Since starting with APLUS America he rarely begs not to go to school and i have not had to take him to his classroom at all. I can also leave the schoolgrounds prior to the bell going. He also admits that the lessons are really helping him. can't wait to see how much more he can achieve. Janine
Brilliant Product & Service We have been so amazed by the progress our child has made in just 12 weeks! Our son had many gaps in his learning in math and English and although in grade 8 at school was scoring at a grade 6 level - with the help of Om (his tutor) and regular sessions 4 - 5 times a week, our son has made massive gains - and best of all, his confidence, particularly in math has increased. His test scores at school have also reflected a huge improvement! Our son loves it as he is motivated by the promise of gift cards from APLUS America to spend on the things he enjoys. Our son has Autism and ADHD and this style of learning has been just what he needed!! Tracey K

Dyscalculia Tutoring FAQs

Q: Yes. Standard math tutoring often relies on memorization and repetition, which doesn’t work for students with dyscalculia. Our dyscalculia tutoring program uses personalized step-by-step lessons, visual tools, and interactive practice to rebuild math skills from the ground up. The platform adapts weekly, and when extra help is needed, live tutors are available in the evenings to guide and encourage.

Q: How do you teach math in a way that works for dyscalculia?
A: We focus on multisensory and visual learning, not just worksheets. Students use interactive tutorials, activities and games to make math concepts concrete. Lessons are broken into short, manageable chunks, so children can focus without feeling overwhelmed.

Q: My child’s confidence is low because of math struggles. Will tutoring help with that?
A: Absolutely. Many children with dyscalculia start to believe they’re “bad at math,” which hurts their self-esteem. Our program is designed around small wins that build confidence, every correct step is reinforced, progress is celebrated, and rewards keep motivation high. Over time, children begin to approach math with less fear and more willingness to try.

Q: How will I know if my child is improving?
A: You’ll receive weekly parent reports showing exactly what skills your child worked on, where they made progress, and what’s next. These updates give you clarity that schools often don’t provide, and many parents use them to support IEP meetings or teacher discussions.

Q: Does dyscalculia tutoring require a lot of extra practice at home?
A: We understand families are busy and children can get overwhelmed. Our program is designed to be flexible and manageable. Lessons can be done at home at a time that suits you, and we focus on steady progress, not long hours of extra work. Even short, regular practice through our platform makes a real difference over time.

Q: Can your program coordinate with my child’s school?
A: While we don’t replace formal school services, our weekly reports make it easy to share progress with teachers. This helps ensure strategies are reinforced in class and gives schools a clearer picture of what your child needs. Parents often use our updates to advocate for classroom accommodations like extra time or visual support.

Q: Dyscalculia is a long-term challenge. How do you keep kids motivated?
A: We know improvement takes time, and frustration can set in quickly. That’s why we use short lessons, engaging tools, and a built-in rewards system to keep children interested. Our live tutors also provide encouragement when setbacks happen, reminding students that progress may be gradual but every step counts.

Q: Is dyscalculia tutoring affordable?
A: Specialized math support is often expensive and hard to find. APLUS America makes it more accessible with affordable monthly plans that include live tutor support at no extra cost. Because our platform is online, families save time and money compared to private in-person sessions.
