Alessandro Prestia

Our Founder

ATAR: 98.6

Having grown up within a family of teachers, Alessandro always had a passion for learning, however, it was not until he began tutoring following his graduating high-school that he truly realised his passion for education.

Alessandro graduated from The Scots College with an ATAR of 98.6 and immediately considered tutoring as a casual job to work through out university. He also aspired to own his own business, so Alessandro undertook a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Sydney, majoring in Finance and Business Law.

Going through University, it became clear that his true passion was not with his university studies but rather with his ‘casual’ job, tutoring. Thus, Educate was founded. In doing so, Alessandro was able to combine his passion for education, and his aspiration of one day owning a business of his own.

Since Educate’s inception, the company has strived to achieve our mission of providing a holistic tuition to our students across Sydney, achieved by tutors who truly enjoy the content that they are teaching.
