Dyscalculia Tutoring and Therapy
Kivato’s dyscalculia tutoring online includes 1-on-1 help at one of our learning disability centers.
With Kivato Dyscalculia Tutoring Online, That One Test Might Mean Nothing!
At Kivato, our Dyscalculia Tutors Online often come across students that are excellent readers but aren’t proficient with numbers. Ironically, mathematics is a language of unique symbols and terms. For many students, math can be the cause of anxiety and frustration because of their constant struggles; dyscalculia engenders these issues, making seemingly basic math concepts complex and hard to comprehend. Subsequently, students lose confidence in their abilities to solve math problems, affecting their skill level as well.
Individuals with dyscalculia are often “hit-or-miss” with certain curriculum, which is why achievement tests that cover skills such as geometry or arithmetics may not accurately indicate your child’s ability. Because tests are often skewed without proper assessment of a child’s specific situation, they tend to be an unreliable measure of a student’s skill level in particular areas of math.
At Kivato Dyscalculia Tutoring Online, we are committed to making your child the best version of themselves.
Try Rhythmic Writing with Kivato Dyscalculia Tutors
Our Online Dyscalculia Tutors acknowledge the overlap of symptoms between the disorders of dyscalculia and dyslexia, as deficits in reading and memory make it difficult to learn reading or mathematics; slow-paced and inaccurate tutoring exacerbate these issues, leading to students make unavoidable errors and lower their motivation. At Kivato Dyscalculia Tutoring Online, we want our students to feel as if they’ve climbed Everest with every achievement they make; by having the learning process be enjoyable, pupils will feel confident in themselves, boosting their performance in a plethora of subjects and topics. For example, one of our first graders wasn’t very confident in her ability to read. However, as she received tutoring that was tailored to her needs, she began understanding phonetics through a fun and entertaining process, providing her with the tools to succeed.
One of the methods we use to improve motivation and focus is “rhythmic writing.” The process is quite simple:
- A student writes the number ‘8’ while indicating the direction they are writing in (left or right)
- Simultaneously, our Dyscalculia Tutors Online will have them answer a range of questions.
Rhythmic writing has students strengthen their focus and concentration by engaging the brain in these exercises. These skills are paramount to mastery of reading and math. At Kivato Dyscalculia Tutoring Online, we keep in mind that while dyslexia and dyscalculia can overlap, they can still exist in isolation from each other, which is why it’s important to identify which your child has.

With Kivato Dyscalculia Tutoring, Numbers are Fun!
One way to effectively teach a child with dyscalculia has the tutor apply real-life examples to math problems; we use math when understanding the cost of groceries or counting the pages left in a book. Here at Kivato Dyscalculia Tutoring Online, our experience and training have shown these techniques to be effective at targeting the shortcomings of students. The approach helps students take a positive approach to math since they can now realize the significance of learning mathematics.
There’s no such thing as “Inattentive Students” here at Kivato
Our Dyscalculia Tutors Online understand that concentration is a crucial part of mathematics. Commonly, a child that suffers from dyscalculia will also be diagnosed with ADHD. Unfortunately, teachers are often unaware of this, which is why their comments about a child with ADHD being ‘inattentive’ can make things worse. Since the child has no control over the symptoms of ADHD, it is best to keep a positive outlook.
When our Dyscalculia Tutors Online at Kivato teach, students may not be as focused because they lack interest in mathematics. However, we must keep the students’ best interests at heart, which is why we try to positively reinforce them. Encouragement provides students with the inner strength and support they need to succeed, which is why we’re dedicated to creating a safe and happy environment for all children at Kivato.
