Southeast Tutor Appreciation Week

Southeast Tutor Appreciation Week is November 8-15! Tutors enjoy helping others and making a positive impact on campus. 

Hailey, a Red Wing tutor, shared: "I love being a tutor because it allows me to show students that asking for help isn't a sign of weakness--it's one of the smartest things you can do to learn and grow."

Courtney, a Winona tutor, echoed her thoughts: "As a tutor, I enjoy making a positive change in my students' learning journey. All of them have such great potential, and it is amazing watching their growth." 

Tutoring at Southeast is available to all students -- whether you're struggling or simply looking to improve. Here are quotes from Southeast students who have worked with our tutors:

• "I wasn't sure where to start, but Kara helped guide me throughout the process. I'm planning to meet with her again before my next test!" 
• "I really have enjoyed getting to know my tutor! Even though we work on hard assignments he makes it fun!"

During Tutor Appreciation Week, the faculty and staff at Southeast want to extend their heartfelt thanks to our tutors--both professionals and peers! They play a vital role in helping students succeed, and their impact goes far beyond improving grades. Thank you for all you do.
