MindPrint

Maya knew the answer.She just needed ten more secondsthan the class was given.

She wasn’t behind. She was misread. MindPrint is how we come to understand a child’s mind, so we can teach the way it actually works.

Start with a conversation
A student leaning in over their work beside a tutor on a laptop, warm light — the moment of being understood.

The profile

Every mind has a shape. This is how we see it.

Eight dimensions of thinking, drawn as a single string stretched across eight anchors. Explore a dimension to see what it means, or switch profiles and watch the shape change.

Showing Maya's profile. Strong reasoning with a slower processing speed. She needed a little more time, not a lower ceiling.

What changes because of it

The same lesson, taught two ways.

One objective

Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.

The learning objective stays the same, but the way we teach is personalised to how each student learns best.

Showing Student A's adapted path: Smaller steps, Visual models, Reduced load, Spaced retrieval.

The system in motion

How a profile quietly becomes teaching.

  1. Step 1

    We map how your child thinks

    Eight dimensions, drawn as one honest shape.

  2. Step 2

    We plan the path that fits that mind

    A learning map built around strengths and stretches.

  3. Step 3

    Each lesson adapts in the moment

    Smaller steps, more time, the right question next.

  4. Step 4

    Growth shows, and the profile refreshes

    Progress you can see, feeding back into the picture.

The eight dimensions

For the parent who wants to look closer.

Open any dimension for what it means, how we teach to it, and what you might notice at home. Every adaptation your child receives is visible to you in the parent dashboard.

  • How much a mind can hold mid-thought.

    How we teach to it

    We break multi-step problems into smaller held pieces and let one idea settle before the next arrives.

    What you might notice at home

    They may lose the thread of long spoken instructions, yet remember ideas they truly understood.

  • How quickly ideas are taken in and used.

    How we teach to it

    We protect thinking time and reduce time pressure, so understanding, not speed, decides the pace.

    What you might notice at home

    They arrive at the right answer, just a beat after everyone else has moved on.

  • Planning, organising and self-control.

    How we teach to it

    We give a clear shape to each session and gentle checkpoints, so effort goes into learning, not managing it.

    What you might notice at home

    Homework can feel like a mountain to start, even when the work itself is well within reach.

  • Understanding and expressing ideas in words.

    How we teach to it

    We lean on discussion and precise language where it is a strength, and add visuals where it is a stretch.

    What you might notice at home

    They explain their thinking aloud beautifully, or find the words harder than the idea.

  • Picturing and mentally moving shapes.

    How we teach to it

    We teach through diagrams, models and mapped-out steps that a spatial mind can hold and rotate.

    What you might notice at home

    They reach for a drawing to explain something, or see the whole shape of a problem at once.

  • Spotting structure and relationships.

    How we teach to it

    We connect each new idea to the underlying pattern, so it clicks into a system rather than sitting alone.

    What you might notice at home

    They notice rules and shortcuts quickly, and dislike repetition once the pattern is clear.

  • Holding attention and filtering distraction.

    How we teach to it

    We shape sessions into focused blocks with calm surroundings and clear, single tasks.

    What you might notice at home

    Attention holds firmly for what interests them, and slips when material feels thin.

  • Mental stamina over longer stretches.

    How we teach to it

    We pace the work and place the hardest thinking where energy is highest, with breaks before fatigue.

    What you might notice at home

    The first half of study is strong; quality quietly dips after a certain point.

It keeps learning too

The profile refreshes every fortnight, as your child grows.

Each fortnight adds a knot: a fuller, truer picture of how they learn.

What families receive

The report Maya’s family received.

Every family receives one: a plain-English report of the shape of their child’s thinking, where they shine, where we protect, and exactly how their tutor teaches to it. Turn the pages of Maya’s.

Maya builds understanding by finding the rule beneath the example, then explaining it in her own words. Speed was never her ceiling; it was her timetable.
