Supporting Students with Dyscalculia & Math Anxiety
Math anxiety and dyscalculia are real, often misunderstood challenges that can significantly affect a student’s confidence and performance. Difficulties may involve more than computation—they can include number sense, working memory, attention, processing, cognitive flexibility, and mathematical language.
Our approach combines systematic, explicit, multisensory instruction with the Concrete–Representational–Abstract (CRA) framework. Students move from hands-on experiences with concrete materials, to visual representations, and ultimately to abstract numbers and symbols. Skills are explicitly taught, practiced, reviewed, and connected to previous learning, with instruction continuing toward mastery and independence.
How We Can Help?
Our math specialists begin with an individualized assessment to understand how the student approaches math and identify the underlying skills that need support. We then develop a personalized remediation plan based on those findings.
We provide one-on-one online sessions, which can be especially effective for students who benefit from individualized attention and reduced distractions. Online instruction allows us to immediately adjust the pace, scaffold a concept, use interactive visual and hands-on tools, and provide frequent feedback—all while meeting the student at their current level.
Whether we are building number sense, strengthening mathematical reasoning, breaking down word problems, or addressing math anxiety, our goal is to build both mathematical understanding and confidence.
Students don't just learn what to do—they learn how to approach math, how to use strategies, and how to recognize that they are capable of learning.
