Celebrating National Tutor Appreciation Week: Honoring the Peer Leaders Powering Student Success

Every October, colleges and universities take a moment to recognize the student leaders who make a difference every day. National Tutor Appreciation Week, observed this year from October 6–10, is an opportunity to celebrate the tutors who help their peers learn, grow, and thrive.

Tutors are the quiet force behind countless moments of understanding. They help classmates master challenging material, regain confidence after a tough exam, and discover new ways to approach their studies. In doing so, they strengthen the fabric of campus life and create a culture of mutual support that extends far beyond the classroom.
