Is three times a week better?

Sometimes for a short catch-up window. Sustained three-plus sessions a week often means the plan is compensating for school overload or unclear goals. Ask what each extra hour is for.

Should tutoring stop in holidays?

A lighter holiday rhythm can consolidate. A full stop right after a breakthrough sometimes lets the gap reopen. Decide from the gap list, not the calendar alone.

How long until we can stop?

When the named gaps are secure and transfer holds on unseen problems. Some families continue for enrichment; that is a choice, not a life sentence.

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.

A sensible default

Twice a week is a strong default when a child is behind on a foundational strand (fractions, integers, algebra entry). Once a week can hold a child who is mostly on track but needs a reliable adult for gaps and exam-style practice.

MathyBrain’s 6- and 12-month enrolments are built around about eight live lessons a month — roughly two per week — because concept repair needs spaced practice, not a marathon on Sunday.

Signals you need more (or less)

Increase frequency for a short stretch if:

A high-stakes exam is 6–10 weeks out and the gap list is long — still rebuild, do not only drill papers.
The child lost months to illness or a bad teaching patch and morale is collapsing.

Signals to reduce or pause

Cut back when any of these are true:

School load is crushing sleep — tutoring should not be the third maths hour after a full day of coaching.
The child can explain the previously stuck idea and school is catching up — move to maintenance (once weekly) or a break.
Sessions have become homework completion. That is not tutoring; stop paying for the wrong job.

What to do between sessions

Ten to twenty minutes of targeted practice beats a two-hour weekend worksheet dump. The parent note should tell you what to leave alone. If you are inventing drills the tutor did not ask for, you may be undoing the lesson.
