In my opinion, this is not really an improvement. It makes it harder to
browse through all the tutorials--the user has you visit a bunch of pages
to get an idea of what tutorials are available. The existing table of
contents at the top of the tutorials page (which could be improved) allows
users to jump to a particular area of interest, which still allowing the
"browsing" feature.
