Tutor.com's Building Awareness for Higher Education

November 2021

With the Thanksgiving season upon us, we at Tutor.com have so much to be grateful for. Together with partners like you, we provide academic support for thousands of learners each day. We are honored to partner with you.

This month, we also celebrate American Education Week by sharing outreach resources you can post through your LMS or social media channels—plus, download some of our end-of-semester graphics, designed to remind students they have access to 1-to-1 tutoring and writing support as they approach exam season.

We are immensely privileged to be able to serve campus communities like yours year-round. From our Tutor.com family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

All the best,
Your Tutor.com Higher Education Support Team
Lauren, Jim, Cindy, Marcy, Tawana, Karen, Ashlenn, and Sandi
