Our Story

Acrux Education (Previously TeacherEA) emerged from the growing need for efficient and accurate assessment in mathematics education. Conceived by a team of dedicated educators and tech enthusiasts, the origin of Acrux Education can be traced back to a shared frustration with the time-consuming task of manually marking countless math assessments.

Recognising the potential of artificial intelligence to streamline this process, the team embarked on a journey to develop a tool that would empower math teachers and enhance the overall learning experience. After extensive research, testing, and collaboration between educators and developers, Acrux Education was born. Its inception marked a significant milestone in education technology, providing math teachers with a powerful solution to automatically and precisely mark student exams, freeing up valuable time for more personalised instruction and support.

Acrux Education embodies the fusion of pedagogy and technology, revolutionising the way educators assess and engage with their students in the ever-evolving landscape of mathematics education.
