Our Story
As selective school graduates ourselves — now studying medicine — we've seen firsthand what it takes to get in. But after years of tutoring at some of the biggest coaching centres, we kept running into the same problems. So we built the solution.
Many students were already enrolled in traditional tutoring — spending hours every week, thousands of dollars a year — and still not improving where it mattered. The problems were always the same.
Around 17,000 students sit the NSW Selective exam every year — competing for roughly 4,000 spots. The pressure is enormous, and every mark counts.
The exam has moved online. But many students still prepare using outdated paper worksheets and one-size-fits-all tutoring that doesn't address their individual weaknesses.
Students didn't need more tutoring hours. They needed a smarter approach — one that adapts to their weaknesses, gives instant feedback, and builds real exam confidence.
We built the tool we wished we had when we were preparing — and the tool we wished our students had when we were tutoring. Excela is the product of hundreds of hours of real teaching experience, combined with technology that adapts to every student.
Traditional tutoring treats every student the same. Excela identifies individual weaknesses and builds a personalised path to improvement.
