When Peer Tutoring Becomes Part of Campus Culture
On a recent visit to Northeastern University, I witnessed something that is often talked about but rarely achieved: a student support model that is not just implemented, but fully embraced across the institution.
Northeastern is now in its third year as a Knack partner. Over that time, they have become our highest-performing campus, leading in both usage rate and in the percentage of students who have participated in tutoring sessions. These numbers are impressive, but what they represent is even more meaningful. At Northeastern, peer tutoring is not simply available. It is expected. It is encouraged. And it is embedded in the student experience.
