Find a Tutor Who Understands Your Course

Sometimes it helps to work with someone who has already taken the class, worked through the same material, and knows what it’s like to be in your shoes.

With Knack, you can connect with an NYU peer tutor for one-on-one or group sessions, either in person or online. You can choose a tutor based on your availability and what works best for you.

Students Love Knack!

"Having that one-on-one experience has been really helpful. It allows me to ask questions without competing with everyone else in the class. Plus, talking to people who have taken the course before and know tips and tricks that the professor doesn’t necessarily share has been invaluable."

Sophia M.

Student

"Since using Knack, my study habits have become more structured and intentional. I focus more on understanding key concepts, active review, and applying test-taking strategies than on memorizing content. As a result, my grades improved when I retook my final, and I feel more confident and consistent in how I prepare for exams."

Juma D.

Student

"Professors’ office hours are often limited to just a few hours a week, and sometimes I have class or other conflicts during those times. Knack is super helpful because I can meet with a tutor at any time. I’ve gotten tutored at 9 PM, so the flexibility makes a big difference."

Madeline C.

Student

"I love Knack. It's a wonderful platform that's been incredibly helpful in maintaining my grades and gaining a better understanding of the subjects I’ve learned. The fact that students don’t have to pay, and that it's covered by the school, is truly a blessing."
