A one-on-one teacher who talks with your student. Out loud.
Ella teaches any subject in a real, warm voice. Name a topic or hand her a PDF and she runs the lesson — talking, listening, answering, letting your student interrupt her mid-sentence like a tutor at the kitchen table. Built for every age — a first-grader and a grown adult alike.
Invite-only free beta — no card, and payments are switched off in the software. And yes: 101 reads “one-on-one.”

No installs, no setup project. Ella runs in the browser and picks up exactly where your student left off.
Log in from any browser
One account. The student opens the cockpit; the account holder opens the oversight view. Nothing to install.
Pick or build a course
Any topic, any PDF. Choose from the course shelf, tell Ella a topic in plain words, or upload a PDF — she turns it into lessons with checks.
Learn out loud
Ella teaches, asks, and listens. The karaoke marker rides the words she speaks; a playhead lets your student scrub, pause, and resume anywhere.
You get the plain facts
Minutes, mastery, hard spots — and any safety moment — counted from real session events, never invented.
Learn. Read. Listen. Story. Comics.
Learn is the daily lesson — the core of Ella 101. The other four turn the books your family already owns into read-alongs, audiobooks, radio plays, and comics.
Learn
The daily lesson. Ella teaches on a warm paper card, checks understanding as you go, and re-teaches a different way when something doesn’t stick. Stuck on paper work? The student holds the worksheet up to the camera and Ella reads it, then helps with the exact problem. This is the cockpit your student lives in.
Read
Your books, readable. Upload a book you own and read it Kindle-style — tap any word for its meaning.
Listen
Your books, narrated. Ella reads aloud with the karaoke word marker and a playhead — pause, scrub, resume anywhere.
Story
Your books, performed. A multi-voice cast — every character gets their own voice, turning chapters into a radio play.
Comics Beta
Your comics, in-app. Upload comic or manga pages and read them right in the reader.
Your library stays yours: Ella reads and narrates books you upload, for your own family. We don’t sell books or audiobooks.
A natural voice — and a real two-way conversation.
Ella speaks with Kokoro, a neural speech engine — warm and human, not a robot reading a script.
🎙️ The Voice Lab
Audition all 54 voices. Drag speed and pitch to shape them, and try the character presets minted from the raw voices. Stars mark the voices in Ella’s tutor roster.
🗣️ She listens too
Talking interrupts her. Push-to-talk, or switch on conversation mode and just speak — Ella stops mid-sentence to listen. Nobody waits for a robot to finish.
✨ Voices with a job
One engine, everywhere. The same voice that teaches also narrates Story mode’s character cast and keeps the karaoke marker on the exact word being spoken.
You see what actually happened.
Nothing more, nothing less.
- Today at a glance — minutes and sessions, per student.
- Courses & mastery — what’s mastered, what’s queued for review, and how often Ella re-taught an idea a different way.
- Mastery is earned, not gamed — if your student peeks at an answer, it isn’t counted as mastered until they can recall it unaided the next day.
- Recent sessions — with the comprehension-check results from each one.
- Where it got hard — the concepts that needed extra tries.
- Safety moments, front and center — if a conversation touches something serious, Ella pauses the lesson and points your student to a trusted adult; the record goes to you alone.
- Honesty ledger — the places a generated answer was corrected or withheld rather than risk teaching it wrong.
- Transcripts you can keep — save any conversation as a text file; the report prints cleanly.
“Every number here is a plain count from your student’s real session events — no scores are invented, ever.” — the first line of the account-holder report
Our commitments
Minutes, checks, and transcripts — counted from real events, never invented or smoothed over.
Serious moments pause the lesson, point your student to a trusted adult, and reach you alone — not a dashboard buried three menus deep.
We use it to run Ella for your family — we don’t sell it, and you can ask for deletion any time with one email.
No ads, no selling or sharing for marketing, and no training AI models on your student’s words — the privacy page spells it out.
Priced like a teacher — made reachable.
The anchor is a private tutor, not an app store. A good one runs $40–80/hr. A great teacher working one-on-one is the finest education there is — Ella’s job is to bring that kind of daily, one-on-one attention within reach of far more families.
Ella 101 is a teaching tool for your household — it is not an accredited school, doesn’t issue diplomas, and doesn’t replace the account holder’s direction. And no, there are no testimonials or student counts on this page: the beta is just beginning, and we’d rather earn them than invent them.
Questions people actually ask
Is $ a month really worth it?
The anchor is a private tutor at $40–80 an hour, not an app store — and daily one-on-one at those rates is out of reach for most families. Ella teaches every subject, every day, for one monthly price with no per-hour meter running. Not sure? Right now the beta is free — and once payments turn on, every subscription opens with a free trial week, so you always watch a real lesson before you decide anything.
Isn’t this just more screen time?
Ella is voice-first — a two-way spoken lesson, eyes-up, with a beginning and an end. No feed to scroll, no autoplay, no loop built to keep your student on. Work-mode even points the camera at real paper they’re writing on. You set the length; the account holder view shows you the exact minutes.
What if the student won’t talk to a computer?
Some students warm up in the first two minutes, some take a few sessions — so you find out with your own student before you commit. The beta is free right now, and once payments turn on every subscription opens with a free trial week. It’s a real conversation: interrupt her, ask her to slow down, push-to-talk, or stay in reading and listening modes with no microphone at all. No audience, no wrong way to answer.
I have more than one student — is it $ each?
No — there’s a Family plan that brings several students in together, and each additional student is added at a lower rate than the first. One student is the $ anchor; a full house comes out to well under that per student. You’ll see the per-student math right on the grid above.
Am I locked into a contract?
No contract, no minimum term. The default is month-to-month — cancel anytime and the next month simply doesn’t start. A yearly option exists only because it saves you roughly two months if you already know you’re staying. During the beta there’s nothing to lock into at all: it’s free.
Where’s your proof it works?
Honestly: the beta is just beginning, so there are no testimonials or student counts on this site — we’d rather earn them than invent them. What we can show you is the product itself: the beta is free right now — and once payments turn on, every subscription opens with a free trial week — so sit through one real lesson and read the transcript afterward. That’s your evidence, made by your own student.
What if Ella teaches something wrong?
Every generated answer runs through checks, and the account-holder report carries an honesty ledger: the places an answer was corrected or withheld rather than risk teaching it wrong. You see it — it’s never smoothed over.
Is this safe for the student?
Safety checks gate every tutor turn. If a conversation touches something serious, Ella pauses the lesson and points your student to a trusted adult — and the record goes to you alone.
Does it replace me as the teacher?
No. Ella 101 is a tool for your household: you set the direction, Ella does the patient one-on-one teaching and hands you the plain facts afterward. It’s not an accredited school and doesn’t issue diplomas.
Isn’t this just ChatGPT with a voice?
No. Ella teaches out loud in a two-way voice conversation, checks understanding with real questions, and remembers what your student has mastered and struggled with, so every lesson builds on the last. Afterwards you get the plain-facts account-holder report. It’s a tutor, not a chatbot.
Won’t the student just say “yes” and skip ahead?
Ella doesn’t accept a shrug as understanding — she asks your student to say the idea back in their own words before moving on. And if they peek at an answer, it isn’t counted as mastered until they can recall it unaided the next day.
What ages and subjects?
Built for every age, from first phonics to adult study. Any topic your student names in plain words, any PDF you upload — Ella turns it into a taught course. She also reads and narrates books you already own.
Do I need to install anything?
No installs. Ella runs in the browser with one account — the student opens the lesson cockpit, you open the account holder view.
What happens to our data?
We use it to run Ella for you — we don’t sell it, and you can ask for deletion any time with one email.
The beta is small on purpose.
A handful of families, a direct line to the builder, and software that gets fixed the week you report it. If that sounds like your kind of early, ask for an invite.
Ella 101 is built and run by one founder — the same person who reads every bug report and answers the contact email himself.
