From our families
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 time and time zones
Why is time a Year 8 maths topic?
Because time arithmetic isn't base-10. Adding 30 minutes to 7:45 isn't the same as adding 0.30 to 7.45. Year 8 formalises the conversions and applies them to durations and time-zone calculations.
How do students convert between 12-hour and 24-hour time?
For PM times in 24-hour format, add 12 to the hour: 3:30 PM = 15:30. For AM times, the hour stays the same: 9:15 AM = 09:15. Midnight is 00:00, noon is 12:00.
How do time zones work?
Each zone is offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) by a whole or half number of hours. Melbourne is UTC+10 (or +11 in daylight saving). New York is UTC-5. The difference between zones tells you the time gap.
What's the difference between AEST and AEDT?
AEST is Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10), used in winter. AEDT is Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11), used in summer. Daylight saving starts on the first Sunday in October and ends on the first Sunday in April.
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.
