Designed by tutors who know what lifts exam marks

Tuterly was carefully designed by the educators at Bayside Academics, a Melbourne tutoring centre that has taught over 2,000 students in 10 years, with a 5.0 rating on Google. In that time we’ve seen what actually moves a maths mark before a test or exam: knowing exactly what’s on it, working from the student’s own mistakes, and practising each one until it’s mastered. Tuterly is built around exactly that, for $8.99 a week at the launch price (50% off until 31 March 2027):

  • Find it: your child snaps the questions they got wrong, or uploads a whole marked test.
  • Fix it: a worked solution for each one, and the exact step that went wrong.
  • Master it: fresh versions of the same idea until it’s mastered, not just explained once.
  • Predict it: Exam Zone works from their school’s test outline and past papers and writes practice exams in that style.

It’s an app, not a tutor, and it covers Years 7 to 10 maths. Some families use it instead of a tutor; others use it between sessions, so the tutor’s hour goes further.
