National Tutor Appreciation Week

Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Learning Resources Department will once again celebrate National Tutor Appreciation Week on October 9 – 13 with various events at all eight MDC campuses.

National Tutor Appreciation Week October 9-13

National Tutor Appreciation  Week 2023 

Get ready to celebrate National Tutor Appreciation Week with Learning Resources!

This year, the theme is "Food Puns," and we are celebrating from October 9th-13th. It's tradition for each campus Learning Resources to spotlight their tutors on social media, during campus events and to set up a week long appreciation wall so students and faculty can shout out their favorite tutors. 

So why dedicate an entire week to tutors? 

Tutors play a crucial role in helping students achieve their academic goals, whether it's acing a tough exam, mastering a challenging subject, or gaining confidence in their studies. They are the mentors who patiently answer questions, offer encouragement, and inspire a love for learning.

As we approach National Tutor Appreciation Week, let's come together as a community of students, faculty, and staff to shine a spotlight on their dedication and commitment to helping us succeed. Whether it's a heartfelt thank-you note or simply a warm smile, every gesture matters. Let's show our tutors that their dedication and hard work are recognized and cherished.

Thank you, tutors, for all that you do!
