Little Treats Keep Me Studying-Reward Yourself!

Weekly Topic: Reward yourself for a year of learning & teaching!

Ms Cathy

Dec 17, 2025

Have little 'mantras' that you say to yourself.  Remember your 'whys?'  for studying, in other words your hopes and dreams.

"If I finish this assignment today, I will take a walk in the park this evening. If I pass this test, I will get to study at the university of my dreams".

As a tutor, I am continually taking professional development courses. This does not just make me better at the technical parts of  teaching English, it means that I am better able to empathise with my students. Even when you are very interested in your studies, if you have had a busy day at work or college, sometimes  you need to persuade yourself to do the trickier parts of test prep.

Remember the reasons why you want to get a good score in the test. Have you always dreamed of getting accepted for a certain course, or studying abroad? The dream will keep you going. In the meantime, have a little treat, like a bubble bath, a lovely walk, or a delicious meal.
