Have you ever wondered the best parts of collecting your stars aside from the brilliant prizes which the amazing centres have to offer. Well as students you are provided the opportunity to build and grow by collecting and spending your stars within the centre shop. Think of the prize cabinet as the shop on your favourite video game, and the more you collect, your ability changes to purchase new things from the item shop.

The prize cabinet allows students to collect prizes which work strategically in conjunction with their learning, offering them opportunity to participate in creative, athletic and musical opportunities. For example a student may collect the football, which prompts them to connect with the great outdoors and engage with their physical fitness, hence providing a rest to the brain from learning. By taking a break using one of the awesome prizes from the First Education item shop, students are able to connect and build their education.

Furthermore by aiming to collect stars, it showcases your ability to keep up to date with your homework and whilst also respecting and utilising tutoring time effectively. Tutors are able to recognise whether their student is able to keep up to date with homework, as the stars may not grow very quickly if a student doesn’t keep up. Hence a tutor can then discuss strategies with the student or their parents to move forward effectively in ensuring retention and development occurs seamlessly through the tutoring process. Additionally tutors are able to recognise whether a student has been a respectful, responsible learner in the tutoring environment, as the positive actions of a student will gain them stars. This action of rewarding students for their hard work, showcases how students can grow and connect within their lessons making the most out of their tutoring sessions.

Seeking to develop your stars is a crucial point within any student’s tutoring routine, providing tutors with rewards for hard working students.
