Selective entry exam prep
Tutoring for the Victorian selective entry exams.
The four Victorian selective entry schools - and the Box Hill High SEAL program - are the toughest tests in the state system. Tuterly connects families with tutors who've prepared students through the verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, written expression, and mathematics sections, and who know the difference between Year 8 maths and what actually appears on the exam.

The four selective entry schools + SEAL.

What we cover
Tutoring shaped around the four exam sections.
Verbal reasoning
Vocabulary, analogies, and reading comprehension under tight time limits - the section most students lose marks on without dedicated practice.
Numerical reasoning
Quick mental arithmetic, problem solving, and number patterns. Speed matters as much as accuracy.
Written expression
Two short writing tasks (creative + persuasive). The skill that's hardest to self-improve from a textbook - direct tutor feedback is what moves it.
Mathematics
Curriculum-aligned problem solving extending beyond the Year 8-9 standard, including geometry, algebra, and word problems.
The Tuterly method
How Tuterly is different from a regular tutoring service.
Most tutoring services take a fee, book you a tutor, and leave you in the dark about everything else. Tuterly is built around the four things parents actually want from tutoring - visibility, progress, follow-through, and a fair price.
A report after every session
Most agencies hand parents a generic invoice and a vague "went well". Tuterly tutors submit structured notes and the platform turns them into a session report covering what was taught, how your child went, and what to focus on next - every single lesson.
Progress you can actually see
Each topic your child works on is rated for confidence and tracked over time. After a few sessions you can see, on a single page, which areas have moved and which still need work - instead of guessing whether the tutoring is doing anything.
Practice questions, automatically
Tuterly generates worksheets on the exact topics your tutor covered, so the learning doesn't stop when the session ends. Worked solutions included - your child can attempt the questions, check answers, and bring anything they got stuck on to the next session.
Sample report
A sample selective-entry session report.
A real example of what you'll receive after every prep session. Tutors are trained to use the platform so progress, weak spots, and what to practise next are visible after every lesson - not just at the end of term.
