Become a Tutor
NYU has partnered with Knack to provide free peer tutoring in select courses. If you earned an A- or higher in one of them, you can help other students succeed the way you did, all while enjoying the flexibility of making your own schedule and earning $18/hour.
How Knack Works
NYU funds the program, so tutoring sessions are free for the students you help. When a student requests support in one of your approved courses, you’ll receive a notification. Accept the request, connect with the student, and set a time that works for both of you, either in person or online through the Knack Online Classroom.

See What Knack Tutors Are Saying
"Not only is it a rewarding leadership opportunity that looks amazing on a resume, but you also get to interact with your fellow students. It's going to make you a better person, a better employee, a better leader. With Knack, the opportunities are endless."
Tiffany J.
Knack Peer Tutor
"Tutoring has allowed me to find my voice as a leader and a mentor. For years, I feared that my quiet disposition made me incapable of being a leader, or that I would not do a good job at helping others, but I have come to realize this cannot be any farther from the truth."
Evangel L.
Knack Peer Tutor
"Tutoring has also helped me refine my own skills. As I teach, I continue learning, adapting to course changes, and improving my understanding. The combination of coursework and tutoring has boosted my confidence, and I’m proud to include it on my resume as a valuable learning experience."
Jasmine H.
Knack Peer Tutor
"Beyond academics, tutoring is also about building relationships. Many students I work with face challenges in the classroom, whether it's struggling with a topic or having difficulties with how their professor teaches. As a tutor, I can encourage them and remind them that things will get better."
Ransford A.
