Students, Have you met Presto?

We want to introduce you to Presto who provide awesome Matric study guides for key subjects.

As a premier online education company, Advantage Learn prides itself in providing top quality, innovative education to students. Besides our own offerings, we work hard to know about and connect our students to, the best South African education has to offer.

A few years ago James and I met Shivad Singh from Presto Academy. We both immediately liked him and the vision he and business partner Fuaad Coovadia had for an education resource company for students, by students. In essence, Presto provides simple, easy to use Matric study guides for South African students for the major High school subjects. At Advantage Learn we are passionate about bringing excellent educators to learners, Presto is passionate about bringing learners who have excelled to other learners – we find that really cool. And I am sure you can see the obvious synergy!

There are a lot of reasons to love Presto, here are some of my top reasons:

1. For every study guide you purchase from them, they will donate one to an underprivileged learner.
2. The students who have developed their study guides are the top in their subjects. When they say they are an education resource company for students, by students, they mean it. Recent Matriculants write the guides, and they employ student graphic designers to put them together. The company was started when Shivad and Fuaad were in their first year at varsity. This all means you can use a study guide laid out in a way that makes sense to you by people who have recently walked the road you’re on.
3. They get their books checked by top educators in each subject, so you know you’re getting the correct information.
4. Their guides are simple, easy to follow and comprehensive. If a quick summary / road-map is what you are looking for, they are a great option.
5. You can tell a lot about an education offering by the people who run the company (trust us, we know 😉 ). Shivad and Fuaad are quite simply great guys, with an awesome vision and energy for providing South African students with something that they really need. Also, they are hilarious. Watch this video.

So, students, if you are looking for some great study guides summarising key things to remember to help you prepare for your end of year Matric exams in Maths, Chemistry, Accounting, Physics; make sure to check out their site.
