My son's attitude has changed quitely for the better since his teacher advised him.

Is this sentence correct?

Please help me.

I am little suspect about the use of "quitely" in my sentence because I couldn't find the word in my dictionary. Do you think the "quitely" is right there? If yes, what would you think it as?

I took it as a typo for "quietly"!

No - there is no such word. "completely" would work in the sentence.
