Plan around school runs and bedtimes, protect two or three fixed sessions a week, and build in a catch-up slot for the weeks that go wrong.
Sample week
- Tue 20:30–21:30: reading
- Thu 20:30–21:30: assignment work
- Sat 07:00–09:00: longer session before the household wakes
- Sun: optional catch-up
