Only a psychologist can diagnose dyscalculia, usually through a psychoeducational assessment. A tutor helps with what you see at homework time, with or without a diagnosis.
Your child still counts on fingers for sums like 3 plus 4, long after classmates just know the answer.
Times tables seem learned on Friday and gone by Monday, no matter how many nights you practise together.
Reading a clock, counting change or knowing which number is bigger still feels like guesswork for your child.
Math homework brings stomach aches, tears or "I'm just stupid", even when every other subject goes fine.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
Look for a certified teacher who slows math down, starts from what your child already understands and explains each step clearly, with hands-on materials and pictures before symbols.
Your child may count on fingers for every sum, or not see that 9 is close to 10. A tutor can use blocks, counters and number lines to show what numbers mean before writing sums. You can ask the tutor to start with pictures and objects, then move to symbols.
Your child may learn a times table on Monday and lose it by Friday. A tutor can teach strategies like doubles and making ten, so your child has a way to find the answer instead of guessing. Ask for short, regular, low-pressure practice rather than long drills.
Word problems can stop your child before any math begins. Look for a tutor who teaches a routine: read the problem, draw it, spot what is being asked and pick the operation. You can ask the tutor to talk through each step out loud, so your child hears the thinking.
If math brings tears or a stomach ache, the worry can block learning as much as the math itself. A tutor can treat mistakes as clues, notice small wins and keep a calm pace. Ask the tutor to use the same tools and accommodations your child has at school.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

No. Many families start while they are waiting for a psychoeducational assessment, which a psychologist does through the school or privately. Tell us what you see at home and at school, and we match you with a tutor who has worked with similar needs.
No. Dyscalculia is a learning disability in how the brain handles numbers, and it isn't a sign of low intelligence. LD@school cites an estimate that about 5 percent of children have it (2015). Plenty of children who struggle with math don't have it, and a tutor can help either way.
Common ones include extra time, a quieter space for tests, a basic calculator, formula sheets and hands-on materials. Your school team decides what goes into the IEP together with you, and a tutor can practise with the same tools so nothing feels new on test day.
Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.
