IB Solved, Australia’s leading International Baccalaureate (IB) education provider offering online tutoring, premium digital resources, study courses and assessment review services, has been named a state finalist in the 2025 Telstra Best of Business Awards in the Outstanding Growth category, selected from more than 20,000 nominations nationwide.
"We are honoured to be recognised as a State Finalist for Outstanding Growth. Growth for us has never just been about numbers. It’s been about innovating to genuinely improve the learning experience for IB students, supporting more families and building a business that can scale sustainably while contributing to the IB education community” said Alexander Ciarroni, CEO of IB Solved.
The Telstra Best of Business Awards recognise Australia’s most exceptional small and medium enterprises that are setting new benchmarks in innovation, growth and community impact. The Outstanding Growth category celebrates businesses that have scaled rapidly and sustainably, creating jobs, expanding their reach and delivering meaningful benefits to the community.
Founded in 2016 by two IB graduates, IB Solved was promptly acquired by Alexander Ciarroni and his former business partner in 2018, remaining the sole director and CEO of IB Solved from 2023. A former IB student himself, Alexander recognised both the power and pressure of the IB program. Determined to improve the experience for other IB students and recognising the true size of the IB resourcing gap, he transformed IB Solved from a small tutoring partnership into a nationwide education platform.
“We have scaled rapidly but always with a focus on quality and purpose, offering the ‘small business benefits’ of round-the-clock customer service and flexibility with the technological infrastructure, reliability and trust of a leading national education brand.”
Today, IB Solved is Australia’s leading IB-specialised education provider, supporting students from IB schools nationwide and expanding into the Asia-Pacific, with a team of over 110 IB experts and a growing ecosystem of digital tools and resources. Since 2016, IB Solved has delivered over 15,000 lessons and supported over 1,500 students through online tutoring, premium digital resources, structured study courses and assessment review services, catering to the unique needs and goals of IB students.
