For schools Built with Mandarin teachers, not around them

Mandarin vocabulary, actually remembered.

A calm, focused study tool for second-language Mandarin students at international schools — with spaced review that makes words stick, and the progress evidence Heads of Department need, always one glance away.

How it works

Words that stay learned, not just crammed

Cognizi is built on spaced review — the most evidenced way to move vocabulary into long-term memory. Three steps, no busywork.

01

Teachers assign a theme

Pick from the preset, HSK-aligned themes and assign one to a class — and choose exactly which words from it appear this session. Every word already carries characters, pinyin, audio and an example.

02

Students review, spaced

Each word resurfaces right before it would be forgotten. A few quiet minutes a day — recall, not re-reading — is what makes it stick.

03

Mastery becomes visible

Every review updates each word’s tier. Teachers see who’s mastered what — and who needs another pass — without chasing or guessing.

The product

Considered enough to feel like a study, not a worksheet

The same product students enjoy is the one teachers trust. Take a look around.

Cognizi student home — themes assigned by the teacher, with flashcard progress and mastery.

A calm daily home

Themes the teacher assigned, each with flashcard progress and a live mastery read. One clear next action — never a wall of decks.

For teachers & Heads of Department

Evidence of progress, one glance away

You’re the one who buys it — so the product earns your trust first. No dark patterns, no manufactured urgency, no guessing who’s fallen behind.

Vocabulary heatmap

Every word × every student in one grid. Mastery by hue and number — spot the column the whole class is stuck on in a second.

At-risk, surfaced for you

Idling and stalled students are flagged automatically, so the children slipping behind reach you before a report does.

Per-student drilldown

Open any student for word-by-word mastery and their 听读写 history — so a quiet word with a parent is backed by specifics.

听读写 skill rings

Listening, reading and writing tracked as separate skills, with a suggested next focus grounded in the class's real data.

Why it’s different

Not another gamified flashcard app

Most vocab apps are built to keep kids tapping. Cognizi is built to make words stick — and to prove it to the teacher.

Questions

The things HoDs ask us first

No — it’s built specifically for second-language Mandarin learners at international schools, aged roughly 7 to 18. The interface is in English; the Chinese is the thing being learned.
Cognizi schedules each word with spaced review, so students see it right before they’d forget it — the evidenced way vocabulary moves into long-term memory. And it turns all of that into a mastery view you can actually act on, without any marking.
Assign one of the preset, HSK-aligned themes to a class — and, if you like, pick exactly which words from it appear this session. It takes a couple of minutes. From there students review on their own, and progress flows back to your class view automatically.
Yes. Cognizi is built for laptops and iPads — the character-writing practice works with touch and Apple Pencil. The interface is English; the Chinese is what’s being learned.
Cognizi is an annual per-seat licence for schools. Departments can trial it first — book a demo and we’ll set up a sample class on the HSK-aligned themes.
Yes. We collect only what’s needed to run the learning, never sell data, keep it in the Singapore region, and handle everything in line with school safeguarding and privacy expectations.
