In this Showcase, Francesca shares with us some expert advice on how tutors can make the most of Times Tables Rock Stars.

We caught up with Francesca Heaps, a Director of Just Learn – a tuition centre in Bognor Regis, to get her thoughts on how Times Tables Rock Stars has impacted upon her tutees.

WHY TIMES TABLES ROCK STARS?

I was using a free app and one of my students had Times Tables Rock Stars at school. I much preferred the progression style so I decided to switch.

WHAT DIFFERENCE HAS IT MADE?

My students all made great progress on their times tables! Especially those who go on more than once a week – it’s great to see them gain confidence!

HOW DO YOU TRACK AND MONITOR USAGE?

The ‘Goals’ tab! I can ensure they are on track and keep them engaged with rewards if they show great effort. When it comes to half term reports, I look at Fluency and Studio to inform parents and to sort out appropriate rewards.

TOP GAME MODE AND WHY?

Garage and Studio! Garage for the coins and Studio as tests all the tables up to 12.

HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR TUTEES MOTIVATED?

1. Active for 7 days in a row: Certificate, chocolate, and/or a Times Tables Rock Stars pencil!

2. Improvements in Rock Status: Rock Status Certificate.

3. Advancing to top 3 of Leaderboard: Pin Badge

4. We are also going to put up a physical leaderboard in the centre!

WHAT'S ON YOUR WISHLIST?

1. Push notifications as reminders for students to log on.

2. ‘Streak’ notifications so they can track their progress.
