About Stellar Study
The tutor we wish we'd had.
We started Stellar Study to give every student that tutor. We hand-pick every tutor, match every family ourselves, and stay involved for as long as you're with us.
Aidan and Seb, co-founders.
Why we started this
Bright kids, missing one or two foundations.
We kept meeting the same student: bright, capable, and quietly missing one or two foundations, with nobody available to go and find them.
So we built a team of people who love finding those gaps, and we run it ourselves. Local, Adelaide-wide, and still answering the phone ourselves.
Who runs Stellar Study
Aidan and Seb.
Sebastian Mercorella
Seb's academic journey has always been driven by a love of Mathematics and Physics. After excelling at school, he went on to study Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, where he keeps building his understanding of mathematical and scientific concepts.
His strength is simplifying complex topics and explaining them logically. Whether it's SACE Specialist Maths, Mathematical Methods or Physics, he makes sure students don't just improve their grades but build problem-solving skills that last beyond the classroom.
Aidan Faugno
Aidan brings years of experience in student support and academic coaching. As an Education Support Officer at St Paul's College, he has dedicated his career to helping students, particularly those who face learning difficulties, develop the tools they need to succeed.
He specialises in strong study habits and foundational skills, working closely with younger students to build confidence, independence and the ability to excel in middle school and beyond.
Our tutors
A tutor for every kind of student.
Our tutors are university students and graduates from across Adelaide, studying everything from medicine and engineering to education, law and the arts. That range means we can match your child with someone who actually fits, rather than whoever happens to be free.
Tell us and we'll match you with someone else.No awkward conversation, and no cost to switch.
What we believe
How we teach.
Personalised learning
Every lesson starts from where your child actually is, not where the textbook says they should be.
Academic excellence
We aim high, and we work to the Australian Curriculum as it's taught in South Australian schools.
Growth mindset
Mistakes are where the learning happens. We want students who try, not students who freeze.
Expert guidance
Tutors who know their subject well enough to explain it three different ways.
Effective study habits
Grades follow habits. We teach how to study, plan and check work, not just the content.
Supportive learning
A calm, consistent face every week, so confidence builds alongside the marks.
