Dyscalculia
Helping neurodivergent children for over 30 years
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.
Parents of children with dyscalculia often describe situations like:
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.
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.

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.
