A learning profile you can actually read.
Not a radar chart. Not “visual learner”. One plain-English paragraph about how your child remembers, how long they can focus, and what gets in the way. It updates every time they revise.
Maya remembers best when she explains it back.
What the profile is, and what it deliberately isn’t.
It isn’t “learning styles”
You may have heard that children are visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learners and should be taught in their style. That idea has been tested repeatedly and the evidence doesn’t support it. We don’t use it, and we say so plainly in our insight paper.
It is the things that do matter
- How they retrieve. Explaining aloud, writing from memory or sketching. All work; children have preferences that affect whether they’ll stick with it.
- How long they can sustain effort. Session length is tuned to attention, then nudged upward gently.
- Access needs. Reading difficulty, processing speed, working memory. These change how material is presented, not what is learned.
- Prior knowledge. Which specification points are already secure, so no time is wasted.
- Confidence. Where anxiety shows up, so the plan builds wins before it builds stretch.
Built on a validated profiling engine
The eight starter questions and the ongoing profile are powered by an established learner profiling platform, white-labelled and adapted for 10 to 16 year olds. We chose it because its questions are validated rather than invented, and because it gives parents a sentence rather than a score.
After the starter questions, the profile keeps learning from behaviour: what sticks, what slips, when sessions end early.
Three children, three plans.
Maya, Year 10
“Remembers best when she explains it back. Short bursts. Diagrams first.”
Her plan: 15-minute sessions with a “teach it back” prompt at the end, diagrams before definitions in Science.
Josh, Year 8
“Reads slowly but reasons fast. Loses the thread when there’s a lot on screen.”
His plan: read-aloud on by default, one question per screen, hints arrive one at a time.
Amara, Year 11
“Secure on method, freezes under time pressure.”
Her plan: untimed accuracy first, then gently timed papers from February, with a pre-exam routine she chose.
