Northeastern Peer Tutors on the Knack Platform

Northeastern Peer Tutoring on the Knack tutoring platform is an additional free resource enabling our undergraduate students from across the Northeastern global network to learn from one another. This academic year 2025, we are refocusing our peer tutoring program to support all eligible 1st year undergraduate students as well as students enrolled in high demand courses across the Northeastern global network. Please refer to the list of supported courses for Fall 2024 here: Fall 2024 Course List
