This issue is all about Mother's Day and seasonal weather!
Greetings, Tutors!

You have met a myriad of challenges over the past year finding ways to connect with your student. Thank you for embracing change. Thank you for being a trusted and devoted source of information for your students. Thank you for your willingness to learn, serve, and engage in new ways. We hope the grey skies of April make way for the sunny and bright skies of May! This edition is about Mother’s Day and seasonal weather.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need help with tutoring strategies during this time. Be well and take care.

With gratitude and hope,

Your Tutor Support Specialist
