Knack Tutoring Information

We are pleased to inform you of Missouri S&T’s partnership with Knack, a leading peer tutoring platform enabling our students to learn from one another. With Knack, students can book 1-on-1 or group tutoring sessions—both online and in person.

The best part? Tutoring is completely free!

To sign up, visit mst.joinknack.com and log-in with your University username & password.

Still have questions? To get your questions answered as soon as possible, please contact Knack's Student Success team via live chat (online or in the app) or by emailing support@joinknack.com.

Faculty or Staff, have questions about Knack? Reach out to Chyna Howell, the Knack Program Administrator for S&T by emailing chyna.howell@mst.edu or you can visit the Student Success Center in the Innovation Lab in room 117.

Because the Student Success Center's S&T Tutoring primarily focuses on STEM-based courses, we wanted to supplement our services to be available for all undergraduate students across all undergraduate courses at S&T.

Therefore, any undergraduate course offered at S&T, including those that fall within CASE can be found on Knack, as long as a Student has signed up to tutor for those courses.

Tutors work as 1099 Contractors and their pay is set by the University. 

  • Tutors are paid $15/hr per session held
  • Tutors are required to complete Peer Tutor Training (the Basics) before being allowed to tutor sessions.
    •  Module 1: The Basics covers the role of a tutor, tutoring dos and don'ts, and the tutoring process.
      • This is the only training tutors are paid to complete.
  • Optional Trainings:
    • Module 2: Tutoring Ethics covers a range of professional ethics topics related to peer tutoring, such as FERPA, Title IX, copyright compliance, and academic integrity.
    • Module 3: Communication covers communication styles and skills, and active listening and responding.
    • Module 4: Learning Strategies covers study skills like goal setting and planning, and time management.

Undergraduate Students:

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!
