What courses are available on Knack?
Because the Student Success Center's Academic Mentoring primarily focuses on STEM-based courses, we wanted to supplement our services to be available for ALL students across ALL courses at S&T. Therefore, any course offered at S&T, including those that fall under the spectrum of Liberal Arts (Psychology, History, English, etc), can be found on Knack, as long as a Student has signed up to tutor for those courses.
Can I work as Tutor?
Yes! If you are an S&T student with at least a semester of time here, you are eligible to be a tutor on Knack in any course you've passed with at least a B. Set your own schedule and work when you want!
