Our Story
2021 - Creation of Stepping Stones
Our story began with a simple belief: Every student deserved the right to excel beyond what was taught at school. After graduating high school with exceptionally high ATAR scores and DUX awards, we discovered our shared dream to innovate, and extend our knowledge to those around us. After 2 years of privately tutoring, in 2021, we decided to join forces to create Educatta's predecessor; Stepping Stones Tutoring.
Stepping Stones Tutoring started after months of planning, discussing how we can provide the most benefit for tutors, while prioritising our students and their families. Through a constant battle of problem solving, we managed to find a sweet spot where we could provide the foundations that made tutoring as simple as possible, while maintaining the growth and knowledge of the students we had under our care.
2022 - June 2024 - Life of Stepping Stones
Throughout the early years of Stepping Stones, we were doing our best to learn as much as possible. We learnt what was important to our tutors, what the students liked, as well as what our student's families valued. These 2 and a half years was the most vital time for our growth. We became experts in the educational field and refined all of our processes in anticipation for July 2024. We learnt from every piece of data we could collect. We researched ways to improve our services through feedback from our students and tutors.
Finally, after working on Project Educatta for 6 months, we were proud to finally reveal all the work we had been putting in behind the scenes.
July 2024 - December 2024 - Launching Educatta
We did it. We launched Educatta which grew rapidly, with extensive positive feedback from both our tutors, students, and their families. The Educatta Team hope that you all fall in love with our new mascot Ed! During these 6 months, we learnt a lot about the intricacies of creating seamless systems behind the scenes to manage the amount of tutors and students joining us. We learnt more about what our students value, and gave more of that which caused retention of our customers to excel. We grew our educational team to a total of 6, working hard to provide excellent and relevant content.
We grew our team of tutors to over 30 and attended pop up events hosting our own stalls. Interacting with the community at events was very enjoyable as we were able to have those personal conversations. This encouraged us to do more which birthed the idea of running our first Educatta Event planned for January 2025!
We also launched our first classes, NAPLAN! These classes grew in popularity over the course of term 4. The success of these classes redirected our focus to create better and more group classes. This led to the creation of our ATAR classes that we plan to launch in 2025.
January 2025 - Launching Educatta's First Educational Centre
In 2025 we have officially rented out our first ever Educatta Centre! This was a massive investment of time and commitment made for the growth of Educatta. We decided that it's time to risk it all to grow harder and faster. The lack of a physical presence was something that made connecting with the community almost impossible. This is a game changer for that.
Since 2025 started, we have been even more locked in. An entire team of experts are working on the content creation for our ATAR classes in anticipation of the launch of those classes. We are also focused on making our first Educatta Event a great success. Furnishing and designing the centre has also been on the top of the agenda. It's been a period of evolution with so many firsts that we are determined to perfect!
Thank You
We are so grateful for every single one of you who have interacted with us. From the students who put in extra hours of their week to dedicate themselves for greater knowledge, to the parents who sacrifice their time and effort to provide our services for their children.
We are extremely proud and appreciative of the tutors who everyday try their best to provide the best teaching for our students. And finally, we are indebted to the admin team who work tirelessly behind the scenes voluntarily to make our lessons as affordable and as smooth as possible for all of those who interact with our services.
The Educatta Team hope that you all fall in love with our endeavours of perfection! We can't wait to grow and support you in your educational endeavours!
