Knack has helped us strengthen the peer learning community on campus and cater to the unique needs of our student population. Our tutoring programs facilitate the many ways our students learn and offer more personalized, accessible support at scale.

Dr. Kate Ziemer Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, University of New Hampshire

It’s exciting to see first-hand the value Knack is bringing to our campus. Not only is this proving to be an efficient model for supplementing our academic support services, but it’s also been a great way to scale the meaningful employment opportunities which help our students develop the skills they’ll need to be successful after graduation.

Dr. William Hudson, Jr. Vice President for Student Affairs, Florida A&M University

My tutoring experience with Knack has been incredible. My tutor was so kind and explained the concepts in the best way possible. I would not have passed without her! The best part about Knack is that the tutors are students who have been in the same boat as us and understand our struggles very well.
