Prices from each company’s own website on 9 November 2026: Tutero, Kip McGrath, Cluey, Kumon, Mathnasium, Success Tutoring, Ezy Math Tutoring. The private tutor range is typical for Melbourne; where a company doesn’t publish prices, the year estimate uses the Melbourne average of about $80 an hour and isn’t that company’s price. Prices change and vary by location, so check with the provider before you sign up. Tuterly isn’t affiliated with any of these companies.

What to ask before you sign up
The full cost
Per session or per month, any enrolment or assessment fee, and whether prices change by year level.
Paying in advance
How many sessions you pay up front, and how much notice you need to give to stop.
Does it follow school?
Will they work on what your child is doing in class this term, from their own homework and tests?
Between sessions
What does your child do in the six days between sessions? That’s usually where the practice happens, or doesn’t.
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.
