JSU College of Business Knack: Managed Peer Tutoring Program for Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate Academic Tutoring
The College of Business is excited to announce a partnership with Knack, the fastest growing peer learning platform for college students, focused on helping students succeed in the classroom, and beyond.
Knack is a student success tool in the College of Business aimed at supporting students and providing them with the opportunity to engage in academic tutoring sessions for business courses that they may find somewhat challenging and difficult.
The Knack tutoring platform enables College of Business students to book business course-specific peer tutoring and mentoring services. Knack enables students to learn from one another. Knack’s platform allows students to book one-on-one and group tutoring sessions.
Knack Tutors are verified high-achieving undergraduate students from Jackson State University College of Business who have previously earned an “A” grade in the courses that they will be offering assistance. Tutoring is subsidized for all JSU College of Business students.
