We always enjoy visiting our partner institutions across the country! 💻 📚 🛣️ Last month, our Director of Customer Success Karen Townsend Murphree—pictured on the left—connected with Tutor.com program managers at two of our wonderful higher education partners in Columbia, South Carolina. • Dr. Jeffery Thomas, Director, Academic Success Center, Midlands Technical College • Dr. Holly Sawyers, Associate Dean of Online and Digital Learning, Columbia College (SC) and "CeCe" 🐨 Through our partnerships with #HigherEd institutions like these, we provide students with the tools they need to achieve their academic and career goals. We’re proud to deliver comprehensive support through online tutoring, on-demand resources, and more.

Here’s one thing teachers and tutors know for sure: There’s magic in identifying what a student truly enjoys or finds deeply relatable and using it to help them learn concepts in math, science, English—you name it! 🪄 A few weeks ago, we asked you how educators can keep students engaged when attention spans are shrinking (for us all). You said we must match tasks to interests, ensuring that learning experiences are personalized for each student. We agree! And both on-demand and high-dosage tutoring are designed to make this possible. Tutors can quickly tap into what students know and love—from movies to music to memes (6 7, anyone? 🥲)—to build rapport and help them arrive at their own understanding of challenging assignments. Plus, data from tutoring sessions can help teachers customize next steps in the classroom. It’s the perfect combination for personalization!

We’re counting down the days to the 2025 Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) Annual Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee! The meeting is an exciting opportunity to connect with higher education leaders and innovators as we wrap up the year. We can’t wait to discuss how online tutoring can help cultivate meaningful change in 2026 for students at colleges and universities. See you at the Educational Excellence Expo!

"We have to fill our hearts with gratitude. Gratitude makes everything that we have more than enough." —Susan L. Taylor 💙 Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

In observance of Thanksgiving, our live tutoring service will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, Nov. 27. We’ll be back online Friday, Nov. 28. 🦃 🍂

In this season of gratitude, we’re giving thanks to these two new Best Student Comment award winners: John B. and Ann W. The comments students shared about their sessions with them are so good—enjoy! ⤵️ ⭐ John B. "Really helped me understand. Did not give me answers but helped me come to an answer and then explained why or why not!!" ⭐ Ann W. "This was my first time utilizing the instant connect service, and it was amazing! In just under an hour, the tutor I worked with helped me feel so confident and prepared on my assignment. I definitely recommend this to anyone! Because everyone can use a little bit of collaboration to result in the best outcome." Congratulations, John and Ann!

Tutoring plays an essential part in meeting students where they are and helping them find their own paths to grasping concepts, completing assignments, and succeeding in their classes.   Our Senior Learning & Development Manager Jenna Gilio shares how data from Tutor.com can help teachers design learning experiences around each student’s needs. 🔊

What is High-Dosage Tutoring’s defining feature? Learning acceleration. 💨 That’s the goal. When students have fallen behind, HDT quickly brings them up to speed, empowering them to perform at a higher level academically. In one of our HDT programs, 92% of students showed measurable academic growth after 12 weeks—even over a holiday break! By the end of the 12-week period, nearly 70% had demonstrated a full year of growth. 📈 We are so proud of these students for what they have achieved, and we are eager to help so many more reach important milestones in their learning.

Congratulations to our Tutor of the Month award winner: Kimberly H. 👏 "Kimberly is a patient and kind tutor. She adjusts her approach to meet student needs and consistently provides strong feedback and support to help students become better writers,” said Quality Specialist Kathleen C. in her nomination. “She genuinely cares for the students she encounters." In Kimberly's Words: “I have a BFA in theatre and master’s degrees in education and counseling. I have self-published several non-fiction books. “I love the Positive Psychology Values in Action Character Strengths Survey because it helps us understand what is the most significant to us. My top strength is love of learning. Perhaps that is why I so appreciate all the resources Tutor.com makes available to us as tutors. I appreciate the opportunity to review the materials and polish the craft of tutoring as much as I desire. My Quality Specialist, Kathleen C., has been instrumental in guiding my journey to improve and become more accomplished as a helper. “I have worked with Tutor.com since 2020, and I concur with a veteran tutor who said that the best way to improve is to tutor as many sessions as possible! There is something about putting in the time and effort to gain experience that helps a tutor remain calm and responsive when trying to give their very best for a student. I find learning along with the student quite enjoyable. “I am thankful that Tutor.com believes in the growth mindset and equity for all, helping students gain confidence through effort and hard work as well as supporting those who have fallen behind catch up academically. I find my time working with college students on their essays and writing skills quite meaningful. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Tutor.com team, and I plan to work for the company for the rest of my life if they let me!” Cheers for five years! Thank you for supporting students with us, Kimberly. 💻 📚 💙
