During Teacher Appreciation Week it’s a perfect time to thank our educators for the incredible job they have done.
From all of us here at Tutor Doctor, we’d like to say thank you to all the teachers and staff that have worked so hard to make learning possible. Many teachers have expressed to us that the inherent human interaction that goes along with the learning process is an integral part of what makes their career so fulfilling. So once again – we thank you, and we encourage all our readers to do the same.
If you want to give your teacher a gift this year, you might have to get a bit creative! Here are a few good ideas:
Write them a letter
A sincere message to your teacher or educator will mean more than any physical gift you can buy. Teachers go into education because it’s a rewarding career, and there’s nothing they appreciate more than hearing praise from current and former students. The best thing about this gift is that it’s something completely free for students to create, and with modern technology a short email is more than enough. It’s the thought that counts, and teachers always enjoy hearing how they’ve positively affected their students’ lives.
Send an e-Card
If you’d like to do something a little less personal, an e-Card is still a great choice. You can include a short message with the greeting, and your teacher will appreciate the gesture.
Give a gift card
If you want to give your teacher a small present, we think gift cards are the way to go. Popular gift cards include coffee shops and retail supply stores, as teachers often have to purchase classroom supplies out of their own pocket. Keep your gift cards to a reasonable amount, and feel free to opt for a digital gift card.
Tutor Doctor Tip
Traditional gifts (coffee mugs, packaged snacks, etc.) are always appreciated by teachers. However, we recommend thoughtful and personalized gifts that demonstrate your understanding and appreciation of their hard work.
However you decide to let your teacher know you appreciate their hard work, make sure to thank them!
