Dyscalculia Assessments

Whether for a child in school or an adult in the workplace, a formal dyscalculia assessment is the essential first step toward understanding numeracy challenges and identifying the right path forward.

I offer a supportive, one to one assessment experience designed to uncover the ‘how’ behind each individual’s learning process, providing a holistic view of cognitive processing and maths attainment.

You will receive a bespoke, easy to read diagnostic report that transforms complex data into a practical roadmap for success in education, career, and daily life.

Dyscalculia Assessments

A formal diagnostic assessment is the essential first step in understanding why numeracy is a challenge and how to move forward. As a specialist assessor, I provide a professional, supportive environment to formally identify Dyscalculia and uncover your or your childs unique learning strengths.

I hold a current Assessment Practicing Certificate (APC) and am an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA). For your peace of mind, I hold full professional insurance and up-to-date DBS clearance.

The assessment is a 3 to 4 hour session designed for anyone aged 8 and over. It isn’t just a “maths test”—I use a variety of short activities, including puzzles, spelling, and picture tasks, to see how your brain processes different types of information. This holistic approach allows me to map out your cognitive profile, highlighting your natural strengths alongside the areas where you need more support.

I take great care in crafting a comprehensive diagnostic report, which is usually ready within three weeks. This 25 plus page document is written to be clear and accessible, covering:

A summary of findings and background history
Underlying ability and cognitive processing skills
Attainments in numeracy and maths
Tailored, practical recommendations for home, school, or work

My goal is to provide you with a detailed “roadmap” of your learning profile that is easy to understand and implement immediately.

I am happy to travel to you; a small additional fee for travel may apply, which I will discuss with you during the booking process.

Testimonials

Belinda was my son's tutor all through primary and secondary school until his GCSE's, helping him to achieve grade 6 in English Literature, English Language and Maths. Belinda was very patient and supportive. We cannot thank Belinda enough for all her efforts over the years.

Belinda came to help my daughter with her maths as she was struggling. Belinda was professional, kind, patient and caring which is what you need during a 1-1 tutoring session. My daughter went on to pass her GCSE's. I would highly recommend Belinda to anyone struggling. She has since become a friend of the family.

We couldn't be happier with the support our daughter has received from her maths tutor Belinda. From the very beginning, she has created a calm, encouraging environment that helped build both her confidence and her understanding of the subject. What really stands out is her ability to explain complex topics in a clear, patient and engaging way. Lessons are always well-structured, tailored to her needs and paced perfectly so she never feels overwhelmed. Over time, we've seen a real improvement not only in her grades but also in her attitude towards maths - it's gone from a source of stress to something she approaches with much more confidence. Communication has also been excellent. We're always kept informed about her progress, strengths and areas to focus on, which has been incredibly reassuring as a parent. I would highly recommend Belinda to anyone looking for reliable, professional and genuinely caring maths support. She has made a real difference to our daughter's learning journey.

Thank you so much for the support you have given to my daughter, you've taught her how to understand her maths lessons much better. She now has better understanding and that has built her resillience and confidence through her journey with Mrs Fowler. As well as having dyscalculia my daughter also has SEN needs which makes it hard for her to process information. Mrs Fowler is such an incredible 1-1 maths teacher and I'm just so proud about how far my daugther has come on in maths with Mrs Fowler. I would definitely recommend having Mrs Fowler as your maths dyscalculia teacher.

Belinda has been an amazing maths tutor for my daughter. She is patient, supportive and explains in a way that really works. My daugther's confidence has grown so much and her progress has been clear to see. I would highly recommend Belinda to any parent looking for extra support.
