Good to Know
Knack Tutoring Platform for FAMU-FSU Engineering students
FAMU-FSU Engineering undergraduate students,
We need you to take advantage of our Knack tutoring platform! Want to be a tutor (and get paid!) or to receive tutoring (for free!) in your math, science, and engineering courses?
FAMU-FSU College of Engineering is super excited about our partnership with Knack — the ultimate peer tutoring platform. Knack’s platform allows FAMU-FSU College of Engineering students to book tutoring sessions with verified FAMU-FSU peer tutors who have previously aced the courses they are tutoring for. You might receive emails from Knack with information about how to become a tutor or receive tutoring. Know that this is an official student resource that the college is providing, and that Knack administers and provides the platform for.
Note:
- It is free to receive tutoring! To view available tutors for your classes, visit joinknack.com/student/famu-fsu-college-of-engineering and sign in with your FAMU or FSU student credentials. As more tutors sign up, your options will grow.
- Tutors receive payment for tutoring! An already-earned grade of “B” or better in a course is required for tutor eligibility. Use the link above to create a verified tutoring profile, complete tutor training (paid), and begin helping students.
- Tutoring sessions can take place online or in-person.
If you have any issues with accessing the platform or finding the courses you need, please report them to me using this link.
If you have questions about getting set up on the Knack platform, please contact support@joinknack.com.
