Knack

Knack is a peer-to-peer tutoring platform enabling higher education institutions to supplement existing academic support services and create a more personalized, equitable, and accessible support experience for every student at scale: from freshman through senior year. Our goal is to empower campuses with 21st-century technology that transforms academic support services into high-impact, skill-building interactions to reach historically underserved students on campus. The vast majority of students that use our technology to book supplemental tutoring on their campus had previously never utilized support services, spotlighting our proven ability to help you reach the underserved populations who typically do not or cannot seek out these retention-oriented services. Knack is an impact-rated social enterprise advised by high-impact practice (HIPs) expert George Kuh. The company has been featured on Inc.com and Forbes, won the 2019 Lumina Prize for Education Innovation, and is backed by well-known educational institutions such as ETS (creators of GRE) and ASU Enterprise Partners.
