Tutor Appreciation Week 2025
Get ready to celebrate National Tutor Appreciation Week with Learning Resources!
This year, the theme is "Bridges to Success," and we will be celebrating from October 6 to 10, 2025. It's tradition for Learning Resources on each campus 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!
