Built by a mum who ran out of patience with the alternatives.
I am Paige, the founder of MindArc, and the reason it exists is personal.
My son has ADHD. He is bright, funny and capable, and by the middle of secondary school he had quietly decided he was "just bad at maths". He was not. He was bad at revising with tools that assumed his brain worked like everyone else's: tools that piled up endless question lists, punished wobbles with more of the same, and treated a wrong answer as a verdict instead of information.
I went looking for something built for how he actually learns. It did not exist. The platforms that called themselves adaptive were adapting one thing: how hard the questions were. Nobody was adapting the structure of the learning itself: the pacing, the sequencing, the way confidence gets rebuilt after a bad five minutes.
So I decided to build it.
I am not a teacher and I am not a software engineer. I am a parent who has read the research, sat beside the frustration at the kitchen table, and refused to accept that "try harder" was the answer. I have spent the time since then designing every lesson structure, every repair pathway and every rule inside MindArc personally, working with a development team who build exactly what is specified, no shortcuts.
Two principles run through everything
The learner is never the problem. If a student with ADHD is failing to revise, the tool has failed to account for them. MindArc takes responsibility for the learner's attention and confidence instead of demanding they show up with both already intact.
Proof before promises. MindArc is starting in SEND schools, the most demanding environment we could choose, because evidence earned there means something. We are running small, free trials with a first cohort of schools before we open more widely. We would rather grow slowly and be right than grow fast and be loud.
If that sounds like something your school wants to be part of, I would love to hear from you.
