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 transfer student who is doing very well now with Tonic Tutor. One day she asked me to add Blobs (a chord recognition game) to her "lesson games" as she really enjoys the game. Later on, I noticed her scores were always 100% on Blobs. I decided to add in the dominant seventh and diminished seventh chords. She sent me a message via Tonic Tutor – wondering what those extra chords were. We discussed them at her lesson and voila – a grade one student is now listening to and recognizing major, minor, diminished and dominant seventh chords! Imagine how much easier it will be for her to play them in the grades to come, as she is already listening to and recognizing them! Tonic Tutor is brilliant in helping them develop their ear! ”

“ The games have helped me read the notes correctly. They have given me a chance to understand what exactly is in the piano world and to ask questions of my teacher about something I saw, trying out what I have learned already and just recently. All of this helps exercise my skills. It has also helped when I play my clarinet. This shows that the games are not just helpful on the piano, but other instruments as well! I'm really thankful for the games. :) ”
