5 Ways to Motivate Students
Learning is its own reward, but that doesn't mean making learning fun and rewarding student progress doesn't have a huge impact. Tonic Tutor has multiple reward systems that maximize student engagement.
A virtual smorgasbord of rewards
Contests
A little bit of friendly competition between your students can be a powerful motivator. Create a contest: students can win a medal based on their rank: gold, silver, broneze, or participation.
Goals
Set a score target for a game and the number of times a student must reach it and Tonic Tutor will track the students progress and give them feedback about the goal after each game they play.
Report Cards
You have full control over how report cards are generated. Select the time range, the games, add a sticker or positive message – you can even filter out low scores to make sure the report card isn't discouraging.
Stickers
Over 10,000 colourful virtual stickers that students can choose from. Stickers are the perfect way to reward student effort, and students are always excited to get them and pick the perfect sticker.
Achievements
Students have the option to continue playing games to earn achievements after their weekly lesson is completed. Each game has awards based on various criteria that are tracked over time.
What teachers and students are saying
“ I have a number of students with different learning styles and with different learning needs (including ADD/ADHD), so I often make Tonic Tutor Time a part of our lessons. Tonic Tutor enables me to take the student OFF the piano bench and over to the computer to continue our learning. Our Tonic Tutor Time allow my special needs students to stand up at the computer and "move" as they join with the characters on the screen. For my students who struggle with fine motor skills, using the mouse and hearing the wonderful sounds that are made with correct answers is a definite confidence builder. Thank you Tonic Tutor! ”

“ Tonic Tutor has been my best discovery for computer based learning. All my students have improved in their note reading and intervalic reading. They also understand the circle of 5ths much better. This is a fabulous interactive program which has inspired even the weakest students. I also love how it encourages all the listening skills required for Conservatory exams!! It has also become a great mid-week communication tool between students and myself via the message options. ”
