Supporting a Student with Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia affects a child’s ability to understand and work with numbers. It can make maths-related tasks—like telling time, remembering number facts, or solving problems—feel more challenging than expected.

Traditional teaching methods often don’t align with how children with dyscalculia learn best. This can lead to frustration and low confidence, especially when they see classmates picking things up more easily.

How Kinetic Tutors Support Children with Dyscalculia

At Kinetic Education, we recognise and celebrate the diverse ways children learn. Our approach is designed to meet each child where they’re at—transforming challenges into small wins, and helping them feel confident in maths, one step at a time.

Through our online Maths Wiz and English Wiz platforms, your child follows a personalised plan tailored to their needs. With step-by-step explanations, visual supports, and targeted number practice, they can build maths skills in a way that suits them best—and feel proud of their progress.

Trouble with maths-related concepts

What this might look like:

Your child might struggle to recognise numbers, remember basic facts (like times tables), or understand how numbers relate to each other. They may lose track while counting, confuse left and right, or rely heavily on fingers. Tasks like place value, sequences, or graphs may feel especially confusing.

How we help:

We use multisensory tools, visual supports, and step-by-step instruction to make abstract maths more concrete. Concepts are broken into manageable chunks with repetition and interactive practice—supporting understanding, not just memorisation.

Needs extra time to solve problems or work with numbers

What this might look like:

Your child may need more time to understand maths concepts or feel stressed when solving problems quickly. Mental maths or timed tasks might feel overwhelming.

How we help:

Our short, self-paced lessons support processing speed and reduce pressure. Children can revisit concepts, practise skills, and progress at a pace that works for them.

Avoidance or anxiety around maths

What this might look like:

Your child might avoid maths homework, say “I’m just not good at this,” or become upset when maths comes up at school or home.

How we help:

We focus on early wins and clear learning goals. With our points-based reward system and personalised support, children begin to feel proud of their effort—and more open to learning.

Difficulty with real-world maths tasks

What this might look like:

Your child may struggle to estimate costs, tell the time, read a clock, or understand measurements. Tasks like counting money or following a recipe may feel confusing.

How we help:

We use real-world examples, scaffolded practice, and visual modelling to help children apply maths skills in everyday life—building real confidence beyond the screen.

Previous support hasn’t worked

What this might look like:

Tutoring or classroom support may have felt too fast, too rigid, or simply didn’t match how your child learns—leaving them feeling frustrated or discouraged.

How we help:

We personalise every child’s learning plan from the very beginning. With flexible access, explicit instruction, and one-on-one tutor support, we create a learning experience that actually fits.

Why Families Trust Our Maths & English Tutors

Personalised learning plans

Every child begins with an assessment so we know what they’ve missed and what they’re ready to learn. From there, we tailor a plan that supports real, steady progress.

Short, focused lessons that reduce pressure

Our 20-minute sessions are designed to feel manageable and help children build confidence—without overwhelm.

Multisensory instruction for deeper understanding

Lessons use visuals, audio, animations, and interactive practice to support working memory and make concepts stick.

Flexible learning that fits your family

Children can log in anytime—before school, after dinner, or on weekends. No stress. No set times.

Support when they need it

Tutors are available to answer questions or demonstrate tasks when your child is stuck. One-on-one, no pressure.

Real rewards that motivate

Our point system encourages progress and gives your child something to feel proud of along the way.

Weekly reports that keep you in the loop

You’ll receive a simple summary of what your child completed, how they’re progressing, and what’s coming next—so you feel informed without needing to oversee every lesson.

Common Questions About Our Dyscalculia Learning Support

How does your approach support my child’s learning needs?

We begin with a personalised assessment to understand your child’s strengths and challenges. From there, we build a tailored plan using explicit instruction, scaffolded steps, and multisensory learning to help concepts “click.”

Will this work if my child needs extra time or gets overwhelmed?

Yes. Our short, self-paced lessons are built to support processing speed. There’s no rush, no timer—just learning at a pace that feels achievable.

What if my child avoids maths altogether?

We’ve designed everything with that in mind. By focusing on wins, visual supports, and a structure that works with your child (not against them), we help rebuild confidence—one small step at a time.

How is this different from tutoring we’ve tried before?

We don’t expect your child to adapt to us—we adapt to them. With short sessions, flexible access, and visual learning tools, our support fits the way children with dyscalculia learn best.

Will I get updates about my child’s learning?

Yes. You’ll receive a weekly report showing what your child has worked on, how they’re progressing, and what’s next. And if you want more insight, your tutor is always there to chat.

Reviews

"Maths Wiz is really exciting, it never gets boring because you can follow what you’re doing at school and sometimes you can even skip ahead a bit and so when you get to learning that at school you already know it."

Ebony, Grade 5 Student

"The programs can give parents a great sense of direction and a sense of structured involvement which will give them great satisfaction. Most children will learn much better. It’s interactive, individualized, special, and it works."

Dr Janet Hall, Psychologist

"I found the programs to be equivalent to a personal tutor for me. I managed to attain not only a high score, but a deep feeling of satisfaction in that I had done my best and had gone beyond my limits."

Sherry, Grade 12 Student

"I am most impressed that, using the Maths Wiz program, the students have successfully learnt difficult concepts without the 'hard work' which is generally associated with learning mathematics through the conventional methods."

George Moran, Principal

"To me it's better than school as it's a lot more fun. I really enjoy using the computer. I try and use the program every week and I do get most of my activities done. I'm feeling happier about my studies."
