Tutoring with Magrid
A structured, research-based tool for targeted learning support
Magrid is a research-based learning program that helps children build strong foundations in mathematics and cognitive skills through visual, language-free activities.
O que é o Magrid?
Magrid is a structured learning program for children aged 4–8+, also widely used with older learners who benefit from a visual, step-by-step approach.
At its core is a visual, language-neutral app that allows students to:
- engage independently with tasks
- build understanding through interaction
- progress at their own level
Magrid supports tutors in delivering targeted, effective instruction while providing clear insights into student progress.
A structured framework for skill development
Magrid supports learning across two key areas: cognitive skills and early mathematics.
Competências cognitivas
- visual perception and pattern recognition
- memória de trabalho e atenção
- spatial reasoning and problem-solving
Mathematics skills
- number recognition and quantity understanding
- comparison and sequencing
- early operations and reasoning
This structured progression provides a clear framework for skill development over time.
Supporting targeted learning and intervention
Magrid helps tutors identify and support specific learning needs.
As students work through structured activities, it becomes easier to:
- identify gaps in understanding
- observe patterns in how students approach tasks
- focus support on specific skill areas
This allows tutoring sessions to be more targeted, efficient, and effective.
Insight that supports understanding
Magrid provides clear, accessible data to support your professional judgement.
Through the app and online dashboard, tutors can:
- track progress across key skills
- monitor activity and time spent learning
- view assessment results across cognitive and mathematical domains
- identify strengths and areas for development
While Magrid is not a diagnostic tool, the level of detail provided can support early identification of learning needs and contribute to a broader understanding of each student.
Flexible use across tutoring settings
Magrid adapts easily to different tutoring formats.
It can be used:
- During sessions (in-person or online)
As a guided activity to observe and support learning in real time - As independent practice
Allowing students to work at their own pace between sessions - As structured homework
Reinforcing key skills without requiring additional explanation - For remote learning
Students can access Magrid at home, with progress visible to the tutor
This flexibility supports continuity between sessions and maximises learning time.
Apoiar a aprendizagem autónoma
Magrid is designed so students can engage without constant instruction.
- No reading or verbal instructions required
- Concepção clara e coerente das tarefas
- O feedback imediato contribui para a compreensão
- Students progress independently
This allows tutors to focus on observation, guidance, and targeted support, rather than continuous instruction.
Easy to implement
Magrid is quick to set up and simple to integrate into your practice.
- Create student profiles in seconds
- Students access learning by tapping their name or avatar
- No logins or passwords required for students
- Works across devices and offline after initial download
This allows you to begin using Magrid immediately, without technical barriers.
A calm, focused learning environment
Magrid is designed to support concentration e reduce cognitive overload.
- Clean, distraction-free interface
- No ads or unnecessary animations
- Atividades curtas e estruturadas
- Balanced feedback to support motivation
This creates an environment where students can engage more effectively with learning.
Com base em estudos
Magrid is built on research in child development, cognitive science, and early mathematics learning.
Studies have shown that learners using Magrid can improve their maths and thinking skills by up to 70% (estudos realizados em toda a Europa, 2015–2021).
A investigação também demonstra que os alunos podem alcançar os mesmos resultados, independentemente da sua língua materna (estudo sobre salas de aula multilingues, Luxemburgo).
A valuable tool for tutoring practice
Magrid provides a flexible, structured, and evidence-based way to support learning.
By combining independent practice, clear progression, and meaningful insight, it helps tutors deliver more targeted support and achieve better outcomes for their students.
