Built on research
Made by a UK teacher, grounded in learning science and neuroscience.
Built on research
Every lesson is based on how young people really learn.
Ember is designed by a teacher, using educational psychology, proven teaching practice and what neuroscience tells us about stress, attention and memory. Inside Ember, we explain the why behind everything, with links to the research.
Because every child’s story deserves to be heard.

Does this sound familiar?
- Getting through the school gate has become a daily battle.
- They’re bright and curious, but the classroom overwhelms them.
- They’re on a reduced timetable and slipping behind.
- You want them learning again, without the pressure.
Ember was started by a secondary school teacher who saw anxious and overwhelmed students find calm in digital spaces, and learn again once they felt safe.
Learning, evolved.
Ember is in development. Sign up for the waitlist, and help shape it.
