Knack offers tutoring for a variety of undergraduate courses at Georgia Tech, currently supporting over 150 courses, with a focus on 1000 and 2000-level STEM courses. The catalog of supported courses, available in the accordion field above, sometimes changes, so be sure to check back for additional options.

Any current Georgia Tech undergraduate student who has earned an A in the course at Georgia Tech and is in good academic standing is eligible to apply to be a Knack tutor. However, J1/F1 visa holders are not permitted to tutor on the Knack platform, as it violates the terms of their visa. Students on J1/F1 visas are encouraged to visit Student Employment Opportunities to explore alternative employment within Academic Success and Advising. 

Tutors go through a training that is rooted in College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) best practices and guidelines for peer tutoring. Tutors also can participate in additional training initiatives to secure badges on their profile, which indicate their level of expertise in different areas. 

Yes! Current Georgia Tech undergraduate students who work as PLUS leaders, drop-in tutors, or learning assistants can also apply to be Knack tutors if they meet the requirements. However, J1/F1 visa holders cannot tutor on Knack due to visa restrictions as Knack hires students as independent contractors. J1/F1 visa holders who accept employment at Knack may jeopardize their visas and their ability to continue study in the US. 

If you haven’t been matched with a tutor on Knack, keep checking back as availability updates frequently. You can also explore other Georgia Tech tutoring options, such as PLUS sessions and Drop-In Tutoring, for additional support. Please contact ASA tutoring staff with any questions or concerns at tutoring@gatech.edu.  

Knack tutoring sessions may occur online through Knack’s platform. Appointments may also be scheduled in-person on campus at spaces designated on the Knack app. Students may not schedule in-person appointments at off-campus locations.

While students may have only two appointments per week per course, they may pursue tutoring for multiple courses throughout the semester.

Please reach out to Knack directly at support@joinknack.com with any concerns you have about your tutoring experience. If you continue to experience problems, please let us know by emailing tutoring@gatech.edu.
