01
Cheaper than one tutoring session
A private tutor is £30 to £40 an hour and ends when the hour does. SoloCogs is £14.99 a month and is available whenever your child wants to learn - 6am, 11pm, weekends, holidays.
02
Knows the difference between a guess and real understanding
Your child rates how sure they are before they answer. The platform sees both - which means it spots the topics they got right by luck, AND the topics they actually know but doubt themselves on.
03
Built around how your child thinks
Read-aloud, dyslexia-friendly font, plain-English mode, colour overlays, forgiving spelling - all on by default if your child needs them. No add-ons, no extra cost.

From £14.99 a month

A whole month between sessions.

A private tutor is typically £30 to £40 an hour and we know lots of families use one. SoloCogs is what runs in between sessions: every lesson, every practical, every revision question your child can manage - all month, for less than half a tutoring hour.

For context - not a SoloCogs service

A great tutor adapts in the moment, gives your child 1-to-1 attention, and the human connection some students genuinely need to learn well - in a 45-minute to one-hour session, usually weekly during term. SoloCogs is what's there the rest of the time: every other day of the week, every half-term, every holiday, every weekend.

And it costs about the same as a streaming subscription - so if a tutor isn't accessible right now, SoloCogs can stand on its own. If your child already has a tutor, we're the daily practice between their sessions.

Either way works. We're here to help science feel possible - whatever route your family takes.

What you get

Three tools. One goal.

SoloLab teaches it. SoloCognition tests it the smart way. SoloSight shows you (or your child's tutor, or their school) exactly what's stuck. All three are included in every paid plan.

SoloLab

Lessons + virtual labs your child can actually use

Biology, Chemistry, Physics · Foundation and Higher Tier

Every lesson written for clarity, every Required Practical rebuilt as a step-by-step activity your child can work through at their own pace. No splashes, no missed equipment, no "didn't catch what the teacher said".

SoloCognition

Tests that spot guesses and gaps - so you know what to fix

Free to try - no card needed

Your child rates how confident they feel BEFORE each answer. We compare confidence to accuracy and tell you both the topics they bluffed and the ones they actually know.

SoloSight

One picture for the parent, the tutor, and the student

Built-in dashboards - no extra setup

See what your child has learnt, what they've avoided, what they're stuck on - in one screen. Tutors and schools see the same picture, so everyone is helping with the same thing.

Hall of Lab Legends

Find the scientists hidden across the lessons.

As students work, they uncover the real people behind the science - Hooke, Mendel, Crick, Goodall. Each portrait lights up forever. Curiosity, not coverage.

Why it works

Built for every student, in every setting.

Whether it's a classroom, a kitchen table, or anywhere in between - SoloCogs removes the barriers between students and great science. Accessibility isn't a feature. It's the foundation every decision is built on.

Designed to reduce friction

Colour options, clean layouts, read aloud support, and spelling tolerance - so nothing gets between a student and the science they're trying to learn.

Multiple ways to answer

Students choose how they respond to assessment questions - reducing format pressure and letting what they actually know speak for itself.

Confidence-led, not grade-led

SoloCognition tracks not just what students get right, but how certain they are - separating lucky guesses from solid knowledge, every time.
