Jack and Jonathan created Acadex to rethink academic support, blending elite mentorship, deep insight, and long-term growth.
Acadex started with a simple thought we had back in Year 12: tutoring should be more than just last-minute help, it should be a complete system that empowers students to take control of their studies.
Too often, tutoring is treated as a reactive service, a Band-Aid solution when students fall behind. We built Acadex to change that. Our mission is to transform tutoring from basic academic support into a comprehensive educational program designed to help students excel, not just cope.
Through the Acadex Membership, we provide structured weekly tutoring, expert HSC marking, progress tracking, parent insight calls, and a supportive community, all working together to help students reach their full potential. High school is a gateway to the rest of your life, and with the right support, we believe every student can achieve the future they envision.
