Investors Back the Aussie Edu Hub Method with $20 Million

Aussie Edu Hub is enhancing school-based education through personalised, one-to-one learning powered by technology. Our belief in the potential of adaptive learning may be ambitious, but it is rapidly becoming a reality. Today, we’re proud to announce a $20 million Series A funding round, bringing our total investment to $31 million to date.

Harnessing the Power of Technology

Technology and analytics are at the heart of our ability to deliver tailored learning experiences and quickly adjust when a specific approach isn’t working for a student.

“Each morning, I review sessions from the previous day with our education team, incorporating feedback from both students and tutors,” says Samuels. “Our analytics provide a detailed ‘lesson map’ showing exactly what was covered, how far each student has progressed in their program, the pace of learning, and their level of mastery. This review may also involve watching recorded lessons to give tutors feedback, guide parents, and—most importantly—ensure students have the support they need to progress.”

“Even after more than 30 years in education, including leadership roles where I observed countless teachers and students, I’ve never before had this level of insight into the learning process.”

What’s Next for Aussie Edu Hub?

This funding highlights the vital role of tutoring and educational technology in boosting the success and confidence of Australian students.

Mark Rohald explains, “The investment will help us further develop our learning platform and analytics tools so we can better understand how children learn and personalise the experience for each student.

“We’re expanding our curriculum to create richer, more interactive, and more engaging lessons. We’re also partnering with universities to unlock more opportunities for educational research.

“Most importantly, this funding gives us an unprecedented opportunity to ensure all Australian students can access high-quality tutoring whenever and however they need it.”

This capital raise is a strong endorsement of our vision for the future of school education and confirms market research showing that more students and parents in Australia are seeking tutoring for improved academic results and greater confidence.

With state education budgets under political pressure—leading to larger class sizes and under-resourced schools—parents and students are turning to trusted tutoring solutions for quality, personalised learning.

A Truly Personalised Learning Experience

We connect students with expert private tutors through our online platform. Using features such as live video and audio, a virtual whiteboard, and digital lesson materials, we create highly customised learning experiences that align with what students are covering at school while addressing their unique learning needs in real time.

“As a former head of department and school administrator, I know how crowded timetables and curricula are,” says Aussie Edu Hub Chief Learning Officer Dr. Selina Samuels. “Teachers are burdened with more administrative work, leaving them less time for one-on-one interaction with students.

“Students are also limited by the schools and facilities in their immediate area. While technology is often discussed in education, there’s still a widespread concern—among both teachers and parents—that many tools in classrooms are more about keeping students busy than truly enhancing their learning.”

The Vision Behind Aussie Edu Hub

When Mark Rohald founded Aussie Edu Hub in 2018, his goal was to take the traditional classroom model and elevate it with advanced technology, expertly developed lesson content, and a network of skilled tutors from across Australia. The online approach removes geographical barriers, making quality learning accessible no matter where students live.

An entrepreneur passionate about education and technology, Rohald has successfully built learning-focused businesses across four continents.

“The classroom model is over a century old—a factory-style approach,” says Rohald, who also serves as CEO. “It’s nearly impossible for one teacher to adapt lessons to every child’s needs, prior knowledge, and interests. Aussie Edu Hub supplements and enhances school learning by partnering with parents and students to support each child’s individual learning journey.”
