I'm not sure that you can get an answer over the net that is fair to your son, or to the teacher. In general, the key to progress for kids is regular daily practice. That's every day. I always say at least five minutes every single day can help to make good progress. More than that is a bonus but I don't like to push them into hating it. On the other hand, progress through grades is usually calculated on twenty minutes practice a day - but that puts a lot of kids off.
Is your son enjoying playing? Does he like the tutor?
These are key issues for me. I've found that young kids seem to make very slow progress and then all of a sudden, as they get older, they get good really fast.
Now you'll ask, can't we skip the slow years? Perhaps, but my experience is that although it seems like slow progress, it does set them up for the rapid progress later.
I'm not much help, am I? But you'd need to give a whole load more information before anyone could realistically get close to an answer.
