Over the past decade, Knack has partnered with dozens of higher education institutions to dramatically increase access to and engagement with peer tutoring. Now, you can connect your K-12 students with our vast network of verified, high-achieving college tutors. By partnering with Knack, you can leverage the expertise and passion of our college tutors to provide personalized support that is proven to enhance academic growth and confidence in young learners.

Leveraging College Tutors for Holistic Support

Connecting K-12 students with college tutors offers unique advantages that go beyond academic support. College tutors are closer in age and experience, making them more relatable and approachable for students. This connection creates a comfortable learning environment where students feel more at ease engaging with their tutors. Additionally, receiving support for a successful college student drives inspiration in helping students visualize their own academic potential.

Beyond academic help, the relationship between college tutors and K-12 students fosters a sense of attainment and potential. Students often aspire to attend the same universities as their tutors, making the goal of higher education feel more possible. This also sets students on a path of peer learning that they can carry with them into college, making tutoring a positive, stigma-free part of their academic journey. By starting early, students gain the confidence to reach higher goals, knowing that support is always available when needed.
