How much does a maths tutor cost?
In India, a competent 1:1 maths tutor usually costs about ₹500–₹1,500 per live hour online, and more for a named specialist or exam-year work. Home tutors vary wildly by city. MathyBrain publishes per-class prices from ₹549–₹899 (depending on grade and plan length), with a ₹99 paid demo you book yourself.
Read the guide →Is online tutoring effective?
Yes — live online 1:1 maths tutoring can be as effective as in-person tutoring when the child can see and hear clearly, the tutor diagnoses the missing concept, and a parent can review what happened. It fails when sessions are anonymous, homework-completion theatre, or a chapter treadmill with no transfer check.
Read the guide →How often should a child have tutoring?
For most KG–Grade 10 children, one or two live 1:1 maths sessions per week is enough — typically about 8 × 50-minute lessons a month — with short practice between sessions. Daily tutoring is rarely necessary and often creates dependency. Crash courses in the last fortnight before a board exam are a different (and riskier) product.
Read the guide →How do I know if my child needs a maths tutor?
Your child likely needs a maths tutor if avoidance, tears, or ‘I just don’t get it’ show up on the same strand for weeks, school marks slip after a topic change, or homework takes hours because an earlier concept is missing. A tutor is the wrong fix if the real problem is sleep, an overwhelming school load, or a goal of someone else finishing the worksheet.
Read the guide →What are red flags in online tutoring contracts?
Refuse tutoring offers that hide the price, assign an anonymous tutor, or make cancellation a phone negotiation. Prefer public pricing, a named tutor, a clear enrolment term (and EMI terms you can read), and a written refund rule before you pay.
