About Tempo Reading
Tempo Reading is a UK-based edtech company focused on solving a growing literacy and attention challenge among neurodiverse learners (including those with ADHD, dyslexia, English as an Additional Language, and other learning differences). Its mission is to transform how reading and comprehension work for these students, using neuroscience, AI, eye-tracking, and flow-state learning, so that learning is more inclusive, efficient, and empowering.
Evidence of Impact
Tempo claims “97% of users report improved focus”, including neurodiverse learners.
In testimonials, schools report reductions in anxiety, increased comprehension, and student enjoyment of reading.
It has relevant SEND content and aims to reduce teacher workload (through automated monitoring, reporting).
It has a “free trial” for schools and device-based trials (iPad, Chromebook) to allow testing and adoption.
Tim Wilson is the CEO and innovator of Tempo Reading, an innovative edtech platform that is designed to help the UK’s neurodiverse literary skills.
Tempo has proven immediate academic benefits for neurodiverse, EAL, and intervention learners – with no supervision required. The tech relies on AI eye tracking technology, suggested reading speeds for optimal “flow state” reading, and layouts designed for ND learners.
With a career spanning decades at the intersection of performance, technology, and human potential, Tim’s unique background informs the core principles of Tempo.
As a former arena-performing musician, he learned the power of “flow state” and the idea that “slow is fast”, which is something he now applies to the science of learning.
Tim’s main area of skills lies in AI and neuroscience – both of which helped him to develop the Tempo platform, that rewires how neurodiverse students read and comprehend, transforming the educational landscape for millions.
Tempo Reading positions itself not just as another reading aid, but as a platform that rewires reading and learning for the brain’s natural rhythms, especially for learners who have been underserved by conventional approaches. Its vision is to shift education from remediation to optimisation: enabling students to access their optimal reading and learning flow, reducing anxiety, boosting attention, closing literacy gaps, and ultimately reducing public costs tied to lack of literacy / early intervention.
