Assess. Train. Measure.

Build the skills learning depends on

Mastermind assesses learning readiness, strengthens cognitive skills, and measures growth over time.

Know how each student learns, and where to start.

Teachers can already tell which students need more support. The Mastermind Learning Readiness Profile shows why, down to how impulse control and stress affect a student's learning readiness. It gives an IEP team, a teacher, and a family one objective, student-specific picture to work from.

Generated automatically

Built from the baseline assessment. No specialist evaluation hours to schedule.

Scored by age, per skill

Every skill has its own age-specific range. Scores read against that skill, never against each other.

Where to start

Names the highest-leverage skills to build first, what helps this student and what to steer around, plus the classroom pacing that supports it.

Run it again after training

Reassessment produces the same profile, so growth in those skills is documented rather than assumed.

Learning is most accessible for this student when work has a clear first step and a quick reset when it feels hard, before frustration builds or attention drifts.

Training targets exactly what the profile identifies

Across Mastermind studies, compared with control groups.

Independently studied

Across 168 students in UK primary schools, Mastermind produced significant improvement in teacher-reported attention and in eye-tracking measures of visual control, the foundation of fluent reading.

Led by Dr. Anastasia Giannakopoulou, lead researcher on the trial, with Dr. Joaquin Anguera, a UCSF cognitive neuroscientist and leading researcher in game-based cognitive training.

Grow the skills behind every subject

See where each skill is today, then watch them develop.

  • Staying with instruction through long or repetitive work.

  • Holding directions in mind while writing or solving problems.

  • How fast a student takes information in and responds. The skill math fluency depends on most.

  • Pausing before responding, and checking work before moving on.

  • Following words and lines with the eyes. The foundation of fluent reading.

Extend the reach of every teacher

Mastermind keeps the cycle turning, from 3 students to 30, so teachers have more to work with, not more to manage.

28 students assessed Cycle 01

Every student, and the whole class, at a glance.Each student gets their own Learning Readiness Profile. The teacher gets a roster-wide view of where every student stands, with no added lift for your team.

Personalized for every learner. Effortless for every educator.Each session auto adapts to each learner's progress, providing the right level of challenge at the right time, with no teacher planning required.

Growth, on repeat.Every profile updates with that student's own progress. The result becomes the next starting point, and the class average becomes evidence a teacher can share.

Measurement produces the next baseline, and the cycle repeats.

Who we serve

Public schools Build learning readiness district-wide, with measurable growth in attention, executive function, and academic engagement. Integrates with your existing MTSS, IEP, and student support systems.
Private & charter Strengthen the cognitive skills that help every learner thrive while giving educators actionable data to personalize support. Flexible enough to complement your instructional model.
Learning enrichment Help learners build confidence, focus, and learning readiness while giving instructors clear insight into growth. Ideal for tutoring, intervention, and enrichment programs.

We have never seen this many students improve a reading level or even a full grade level in one term as we have with the Mastermind program.

  • What is a Learning Readiness Platform?

    A Learning Readiness Platform builds and measures the foundational cognitive skills, attention, memory, processing speed, and impulse control, that determine how effectively a student can learn.

  • What devices does Mastermind run on?

    Most schools run Mastermind on tablets. It also runs on iOS and Android phones and on Meta Quest VR headsets. Students get the same assessment and training on any of them, so device choice follows your budget and setup rather than the other way around.

  • How is Mastermind different from consumer brain-training apps?

    Consumer brain-training apps are built for individuals. Mastermind is built for institutions, combining assessment, training, and progress measurement in one closed loop.

  • How much staff time does implementation require?

    Sessions are self-guided and auto-leveling. Assessment takes about 30 minutes; training sessions run 20 minutes, three times a week, with little to no ongoing staff facilitation.

  • Is Mastermind backed by independent research?

    Yes. A registered clinical trial at the University of Bedfordshire found significant improvement in student attention and eye-tracking measures. Mastermind's junior tennis study, independently published in JMIR Formative Research, found a 38% greater improvement in competitive rating versus a control group.
