Parents on the practice questions.
“Tuterly has been exactly what we needed since Tom started secondary school. Once the topic tests began, he was struggling to keep up. Now he has unlimited practice, all matched to what his class is actually covering, and his Maths results have improved noticeably.”

“My daughter used to leave revision until the night before. Having a platform she can dip into for fifteen minutes after dinner has completely changed that. She's calmer going into assessments, and honestly, so am I.”

“I like that I can just keep doing questions until it clicks. If I get something wrong, it shows me why, and then gives me another one like it.”

Frequently asked
Questions parents ask about percentages
What's the easiest way to find a percentage of a quantity?
Convert the percentage to a decimal (10% = 0.1, 25% = 0.25), then multiply. For 15% of 80: 0.15 x 80 = 12. This works without a calculator once the decimal-equivalents become automatic.
What kinds of percentage problems does Year 7 cover?
Year 7 covers finding a percentage of a quantity (15% of 80) and expressing one quantity as a percentage of another (15 is what percent of 60?). Percentage increase, decrease, and error are Year 8 topics.
Do students need to know percent conversions by heart?
The common ones, yes - 10%, 20%, 25%, 50%, 75% all come up so often that students should know them as decimals and fractions without thinking. The rest can be derived from those.
How are percentage word problems different from the calculations?
Word problems hide the operation. 'The shirt was $80, now $60' means students have to recognise that the discount is $20, which is 25% of $80. The translation step is where most marks are lost.
Want a real plan for the term?
Worksheets are great for repetition. A Tuterly tutor can spot the specific moves your student keeps getting wrong and fix them in one or two sessions.
