Dysgraphia Tutoring

Dysgraphia can make it hard for a child to express ideas clearly in writing. You might see it in letter formation, sentence structure, or organizing thoughts on the page. They often have plenty of ideas, but getting it down is tough. Writing can feel tiring, frustrating, or overwhelming, and confidence can slip over time.

At APLUS America, our dysgraphia tutoring program is designed to make writing less stressful and more achievable. With personalized weekly plans, online tools, and real tutor support, your child can build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

What dysgraphia looks like in the classroom & at home

Children with dysgraphia often:

  • Struggle with handwriting - letters may be poorly formed, inconsistent, or hard to read.
  • Avoid writing assignments because they take too long or feel overwhelming.
  • Have great ideas but can’t get them onto the page clearly.
  • Struggle with spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure.
  • Experience fatigue or frustration when asked to write for extended periods.

These difficulties can cause stress at homework time and make students feel like they’re “behind” when in reality, they just need a different approach.

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 dysgraphia needs a unique approach<

Children with dysgraphia don’t just need “more writing practice.” For them, the challenge often lies in the mechanics of writing itself, forming letters, organizing thoughts on paper, or keeping up with classmates when handwriting takes extra effort. Traditional English tutoring, which often mirrors classroom exercises, can leave these students even more frustrated.

This is why APLUS America’s dysgraphia tutoring program is built to meet students where they are, breaking down writing into manageable, confidence-building steps.

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

Dysgraphia Tutoring FAQs

Q: How is dysgraphia tutoring different from regular writing support?
A: Dysgraphia can affect how children organize their thoughts, spell, and express themselves on paper. Standard writing practice can make things harder when it focuses only on neatness or repetition. Our dysgraphia tutoring supports both the motor and cognitive sides of writing. We break tasks into small steps, use adaptive tools when needed, and help children get their ideas out clearly and confidently. This ensures your child is supported in developing skills in reading, writing, grammar, comprehension, and spelling that carry over into other curriculum areas.

Q: Can your dysgraphia tutoring program support both fine motor and written expression challenges?
A: Yes. Our tutoring platform is designed to address both sides of dysgraphia: the mechanical challenges (like letter formation and spacing) and the cognitive challenges (planning, organizing, and expressing ideas). Lessons are broken into manageable steps, with interactive tools and adaptive strategies such as speech-to-text or typing built in to reduce frustration.

Q: Do you use technology or adaptive tools for dysgraphia?
A: Absolutely. Every child is different, so we encourage what works best for them. Our personalized learning plans are fully online and interactive, with a variety of question formats that help your child practice and develop a wide range of skills. To reduce handwriting pressure, we provide flexible options with our writing support, and your tutor will guide and assist your child in finding the method that works best. The goal is not perfection on paper, it is helping students show what they know without being held back by the mechanics of writing.

Q: How will I know if tutoring is helping my child?
A: We provide weekly progress reports that track both small wins (like forming letters more consistently or writing a complete paragraph) and bigger goals, such as confidence and independence in writing tasks. Parents tell us these updates are invaluable because they finally see clear, measurable progress that schools often don’t communicate.

Q: My child’s confidence has taken a hit - will tutoring make this worse?
A: We know how painful it is when children feel embarrassed about their writing or get labeled “lazy” or “messy.” That’s why our approach emphasizes encouragement, effort, and small successes. We celebrate progress, not perfection. Over time, students begin to see writing as something they can do, not something to fear.

Q: Will you work with my child’s school or IEP team?
A: We provide weekly parent reports so you always know what’s working and where support is needed. Many families share these reports with teachers to give them a clearer picture of their child’s progress.

Q: How much extra time will tutoring and practice take?
A: We know families are already stretched thin. That’s why our sessions are designed in short, manageable chunks that don’t overwhelm your child. Practice at home is encouraged but always realistic, the goal is steady progress without adding unnecessary stress to the household.

Q: What if my child hasn’t been officially diagnosed with dysgraphia?
A: That’s common. Dysgraphia isn’t always formally recognized in schools, and assessments can be complicated. You don’t need a diagnosis to start getting help. Our diagnostic tools and tutoring plans focus on the specific writing challenges your child faces, whether or not they’ve been given a formal label.

Q: Is dysgraphia tutoring affordable?
A: Specialized services can be expensive, which is why we’ve made our program more accessible. Our online dysgraphia tutoring plans cost far less than private in-person options, and live tutor support is included. Families also appreciate that everything happens at home, no extra travel or scheduling stress.
