Our holistic approach to education involves mentoring IB students to balance their workload and maintain their physical, mental and psychological wellbeing throughout their IB journey.
2016
IB Solved was founded by two IB graduates who noticed the lack of beneficial high-quality resources available to assist IB students.
2018
IB Solved was purchased by Alexander Ciarroni and Marcus Buvac, who expanded the brand and helped hundreds of IB students reach their goals.
2023 and Beyond
IB Solved converted into a company with Alexander Ciarroni remaining the sole director and CEO. He has since transformed IB Solved into a nationwide education platform, investing significantly in technology, tutor recruitment and training, and IB resource development.
Today, IB Solved provides students with a holistic ecosystem of IB specialised support and resources, while also guiding the development of high achieving IB graduates into effective educators for the next generation.
We remain committed to helping International Baccalaureate students in Australia and worldwide achieve academic success and secure entry into top universities!
Our History
The Story Behind IB Solved
Founded with a passion for academic excellence, IB Solved has grown from a small team of top IB graduates into a leading global platform supporting students in achieving their highest potential.
Quote from the CEO
"The International Baccalaureate is one of the most challenging graduate courses in the world. Yet while completing my IB Diploma, I noticed a genuine lack of high-quality resources accessible to assist IB Students in preparing for both their internal assessments and final exams.
This prompted the birth of IB Solved – a solution to the gap between the growing popularity of the International Baccalaureate and the lack of assistance available to IB students. Since our inception, we have worked with hundreds of IB students from schools across Australia and internationally.
We provide IB students with a holistic IB ecosystem integrating specialised online tutoring, assessment review, study courses and digital resources. Our approach is evidence-based, technology-driven and designed to help IB students achieve academic success and secure entry into top universities!"

IB Solved specialises in IB tutoring, and we have been helping hundreds of IB students achieve their academic dreams. We have helped many students from a diverse range of countries, with a focus on Australia. We utilise cutting edge education technology, provide exclusive resources developed by IB experts and offer one-on-one or group tuition, as well as university admission test support. Our team of highly successful IB graduates excel in communication and have developed effective strategies to succeed in the IB, sharing their secrets, tips, and tricks with students.

The IB Solved team is made up of top achieving IB graduates who have scored 40+ in their IB Diploma and a Band 7 in the subjects they tutor. All our tutors have undergone training and continue to receive ongoing development throughout their time at IB Solved. They have been selected not only for their detailed knowledge of the intricacies of the IB but for their ability to teach, communicate and inspire their students.
We pride ourselves on our speed and efficiency in setting up tuition. We can set up tuition within 24 hours.
Our tutors are accomplished recent graduates who have excelled in the IB program, receiving a score of 40+ and only tutoring the subjects in which they scored the top Band 7. Not only are they highly skilled communicators, but they also have their own proven strategies that they can share with students. We take pride in our diverse team of tutors who come from various backgrounds, genders, schools, and academic disciplines.
We offer flexible payment options, with no lock-in, pay only for what you use and receive discounts for package payments. We have two payment options: weekly charges or package payments. We also offer an easy payment system with online tracking of balances, email invoices/receipts, and direct debiting.
At IB Solved, we understand that each student has unique needs. There is definitely no hard rule on exactly how many hours of tutoring is best for you and ultimately this will be determined together in your initial assessment with us.
However, generally we recommend at least one (but ideally two) hours per subject each week with your tutors to see significant improvements in performance. We have found that the best results come from students who not only have regular contact with their IB tutor, but also engage with the out-of-class work set by our IB experts.
At IB Solved, we pride ourselves on flexibility and understand that your child's schedule can be crazy and dynamic. However, our tutors are often dependent on their sessions as their primary source of income, so if you need to cancel a lesson, we require at least 1 hour notice. If notice is not given, our tutors reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the hourly rate.
