Where Code Meets
The Classroom.
We're bridging the gap between overwhelmed teachers and distracted students through intelligent, empathetic design.
It started with a coffee.
Ellie-fun was born in a small café in Ljubljana. It was a meeting between two different worlds: obsessed with optimization, and working 60-hour weeks.
As they talked, a pattern emerged. Tutoring requests were skyrocketing. Not because the curriculum was harder, but because students were struggling to focus, and schools were facing a critical shortage of teachers.
"I can't clone myself," Žan T. said. "But what if we could clone the *method*?"
The classroom is changing.
We saw two massive problems that needed a unified solution.
Teacher Shortage
With class sizes growing and resources shrinking, teachers simply don't have the time to sit with every student to debug their logic step-by-step.
Fragmented Focus
In an era of 15-second videos, traditional textbooks feel stagnant. Students need interactive, instant feedback to stay engaged and learn effectively.
Our Answer: AI with Empathy
We didn't just build a calculator. We built a digital companion that mimics the patience and intuition of a human tutor. It identifies when a student is stuck, not just what the answer is.
Empowering Teachers
We believe technology should handle the repetitive work so teachers can focus on the human connection. Ellie-fun handles the rote practice, grading, and basic explanations.
