Hey everyone, my name is Laura Magcguire
and I am excited to introduce you to
Knack, your free peer tutoring platform.
Your university partnered with Knack to
make it easy for you to connect with
qualified students at your college who
have taken your courses and can help you
succeed. Every tutor on Knack is a
fellow student, not someone from outside
the university. So, they know your
courses, your professors, and what it
takes to do well. And the best part,
it's completely free for you. Let's take
a quick look at how Knack works and how
you can get started today.
To access Knack, just log in with your
university credentials. No extra
accounts needed. After agreeing to the
terms, you'll answer a few quick
questions about your study habits. This
helps us to understand how you learn
best so we can provide the right support
when you need it most.
Knack tutoring is designed to fit your
needs. You can meet one-on-one for
personalized help. Join group sessions
with up to six students. And if no peer
tutor is available, you can also access
a professional tutor with a master's
degree or higher. Having said that, 98%
of tutoring happens peer-to-peer. So,
chances are you'll be matched with a
fellow student who has been in your
shoes.
Once you sign up, you can register your
courses that you're taking for the
semester. This makes it really easy to
find a tutor when you need help. When
you search for a course, you'll see a
list of available tutors. Each tutor
profile includes a short bio, star
ratings, and reviews from other
students, as well as special badges like
faculty recommended tutors. This helps
you find the best tutor for your
learning style.
Let's walk through how easy it is to
request a peer tutoring session. First,
you're going to choose your course. You
can then pick whether you want to work
with your tutor in person or online.
You're going to want to share what you
need help with. The more details, the
better. Your request is then sent to all
available peer tutors on your campus.
And they can reply with messages like,
"I got an A+ in this class and I would
love to help. I'm available on
Thursday." All communication stays
within the Knack platform, so there's no
need to exchange personal information.
You can also schedule recurring sessions
if you want ongoing support. Sessions
last up to 90 minutes, and you can even
invite classmates to join a group
session.
You can track your upcoming sessions
right from your Knack dashboard, and
we'll send you reminders 2 hours before
so you don't forget. Before your
session, you can upload documents for
your tutor, add classmates to create a
group session. If you're meeting online,
the classroom includes video and audio
chat, a whiteboard, equation, code, and
text editors, and more. everything you
need for a great learning experience.
After your session, you will be asked to
provide quick feedback. You're going to
rate your confidence score before and
after the session. Give your tutor a one
to five star rating and leave comments
to help improve the experience.
Now that we've walked through how easy
it is to request a peer tutoring session
on Knack, I also wanted to share that
Knack isn't just about getting help.
It's also a great opportunity to become
a tutor and earn money while you're
doing it. If you meet your individual
school's grade requirement, you could be
eligible to be a tutor on Knack. You get
to set your own schedule so you can
tutor when works for you. Knack also
provides direct deposit 24 to 48 hours
after a session is completed. Tutoring
isn't just about helping others. It
strengthens your own skills, builds your
resume, and boosts your confidence.
Knack is here to make tutoring easy,
accessible, and impactful. Whether you
need support in a tough class or want to
share your knowledge and earn money as a
tutor, Knack is the perfect place to do
it. Ready to get started? Log in today
and request your first session.
