About SoloCogs

Built by a qualified science teacher. Parent of a neurodivergent child. Accessible by design from day one.

A premium digital Science platform built around one question: what does a student actually need next? Built by an educator who has lived that question as a teacher, as a learner, and as a parent of a neurodivergent child. High-accessibility tools are standard - so the platform works whether your student is in a classroom, learning at home, or supported through school refusal or EOTAS.

SoloCognition - in 30 seconds

Find the gaps. Show what to do next. Repeat.

Most students don't struggle because they're not trying - they struggle because they don't know where to start. SoloCognition takes that guesswork away.

The Problem

Students don't know what to study next

So they do nothing - or they do the easy stuff they already know. Either way, the real gaps stay gaps.

The Solution

SoloCognition identifies the Knowledge Flags

It compares what a student answers with how confident they felt - and turns that into a precise picture of what to focus on next.

The Result

The student becomes a Solo learner

A clear, honest starting point and a self-directed plan - no more "what do I study?" friction. Powered by their own Cogs.

For families & students

Built by an educator and parent who has lived it from both sides

SoloCogs was built around real students - including the ones who learn differently. If your child has ever stared at a revision guide and not known where to begin, this is for them.

Built by a teacher and a parent

A qualified science teacher who has worked across mainstream, SEND, PRU and SEMH settings - and the parent of a neurodivergent child. The research is current; the experience is real and personal.

Designed for independence

Most revision tools assume a student knows how to revise. SoloCogs assumes they don't, and removes every barrier to getting started. The Knowledge Map tells the student what to open and where to begin - no decision fatigue, no "what do I do next?".

What a student sees at the end of a unit

No score mid-session. Honest breakdown at the end.

Knowledge flags

1 Misconception

Confident answer - but wrong. This gets addressed first.

5 Secure

Correct and confident. No action needed here.

2 Confidence boost needed

Got them right but weren't sure. Knowledge is there - trust isn't yet.

Recommended first target

Unpick the misconception around hormones and the nervous system - then revisit Grade 3-4 questions with confidence work.

Parents see the full picture

SoloSight Family gives you the same Knowledge Map your child sees. No grades to interpret - just clear flags showing what's secure, what's still forming, and what they're working on next.

For schools & tutors

Department-wide oversight, ready out of the box

Every account, every student, every Required Practical - in one dashboard. Built to the AQA Combined Science Foundation specification, with the 2027 spec on the roadmap.

Tiering

Foundation-first by design - with Higher Tier stretch built in. Our accessible-by-design ethos means every student starts on the Foundation route by default; the platform is rigorously aligned to AQA Combined Science Trilogy (8464) Foundation. Students aiming at grades 5-9 can switch their account to Higher Tier in settings, which unlocks Higher-only questions (Le Chatelier's principle, transformer current calculations, oxygen debt clearance, etc.) inside SoloCognition. Foundation content stays available either way - Higher is additive, not a different platform.

Department-wide dashboard

Every student in your department, every unit they have worked through, every misconception flagged. Filter by class, by year, by subtopic - identify exactly which Grade 1-3 questions need a re-teach and which classes need additional support.

Required Practicals on record

Every virtual practical produces a downloadable PDF: method, observations, results table, conclusion. Audit-ready evidence of completion for every student, with timestamps. Useful when an observation rolls round, or when a student catches up after absence.

Universally Designed: Built for focus, clarity, and mastery

Read-aloud, six background colour options, Plain-English toggles, smart-match spelling (SoloSpell), no timers, no penalty for skipping. High-performance learning tools baked in - so every student gets a frictionless route to mastery, and no-one needs a separate workflow to support them.

A typical tutor week

12 students, 3 subjects, one dashboard

Monday morning: open SoloSight Tutor and see who has done what since last week. Three students worked through Cell Biology over the weekend - one of them flagged a misconception around osmosis. The Recommended First Target tells you exactly what to open in the next session.

No marking pile, no spreadsheet juggling - and parents can see the same picture, so the conversation in the Tuesday catch-up meeting is concrete.

School pricing - in conversation

Family subscriptions are listed on the pricing page, but department-scale pricing depends on student headcount, multi-subject access, and how you want SoloSight set up across teaching staff. The fastest way is a 20-minute call.

How it works

The full learning loop, end to end

SoloCognition is not a test - there's no pass/fail and no timer. It compares what a student answers with how confident they felt, and turns that into a precise study plan. Here's exactly how each question works.

Every question follows the same three-step structure

Aligned to AQA Foundation specification language. Every question includes a skip option - skipping is still useful data.

Answer the question

Students answer using whichever format suits the question. Skipping tells us the topic felt unfamiliar or overwhelming - just as useful as a wrong answer.

Rate confidence - after answering

Students rate how they felt: I knew this, I thought I might know, or I was guessing. Done after answering - so it's a reflection, not a prediction. This is the step that separates genuine knowledge from a lucky guess.

Feedback matched to both signals

A correct answer from a confident student means something different to a correct answer from a guesser. SoloCognition treats them differently. No running score - just a full breakdown at the end of each unit.

↻ Questions draw from a rotating bank - fresh every time a unit is repeated. No memorising answers, no false picture of progress.

The four Knowledge Flags

A standard test tells you what a student got right or wrong. SoloCognition combines answer + confidence to identify why they're where they are.

Secure knowledge

Confident and correct. No action needed.

Misconception

Confident but wrong. The most important flag - addressed first.

Knowledge gap

Wrong and uncertain - a clear gap, straightforward to build.

Hesitancy

Skipped or uncertain answers signal topics worth revisiting - without pressure.

From data to a personalised plan

SoloCognition doesn't just identify which topics need attention - it identifies what kind of attention each one needs. A misconception needs unpicking. A gap needs building. Hesitancy needs reinforcing. Each produces a different recommended next step.

This is what makes SoloCognition different from a revision checklist. It doesn't just tell you what to cover - it tells you how to approach it.
