  <title><![CDATA[Peer Tutoring Available for Grad Students and Select Courses ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<div><p>Georgia Tech is excited to continue its partnership with <strong>Knack</strong>, the fastest-growing peer learning platform for college students, to provide free tutoring support for select first-year graduate courses this academic year.</p><p>All students enrolled in select graduate-level courses will have access to free peer tutoring. Peer tutoring is available for on-campus and online students. For a complete list of participating courses, click <a href="https://grad.gatech.edu/knack-tutoring">here</a><a>.</a></p><p>Knack’s easy-to-use platform allows grad students who need tutoring to book sessions with verified Georgia Tech grad peer tutors who previously aced the courses in which they offer assistance. To view available tutors, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.joinknack.com/student/georgia-institute-of-technology">gatech.joinknack.com</a> and sign in using your student account.</p><p lang="EN-US"><strong>Interested in becoming a peer tutor?&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p></div><div><p>Graduate students interested in becoming paid peer tutors must have received an A in the course they’d like to provide tutoring services. Interested students should visit&nbsp;gatech.joinknack.com, to create a verified tutoring profile and get paid to complete tutor training before helping students.&nbsp; This opportunity is open to US citizens and permanent residents. Please note that Knack does not meet the federal regulatory definition of an on-campus employer. As such, F-1 student visa holders who engage in work as a peer tutor for Knack will be in violation of the F-1 student visa status. To learn more about employment eligibility as a visa holder, please visit the OIE web resource:&nbsp;<a href="https://isss.oie.gatech.edu/content/f-1-employment-overview">F-1 Employment Overview | Office of International Education (gatech.edu).&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Interested students should visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.joinknack.com/student/georgia-institute-of-technology">gatech.joinknack.com</a>, to create a verified tutoring profile and get paid to complete tutor training before helping students.&nbsp;</p><p>This initiative’s funding is expected to extend throughout the 2025-2026 academic year.&nbsp; Tutoring will remain free for this school year and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Through this partnership, Georgia Tech aims to enhance the academic success of its students and foster a collaborative learning environment for its graduate community.</p><p>Dr. Bonnie Ferri, vice provost for Graduate and Postdoctoral Education, highlights the importance of introducing a tutoring program for core courses to promote academic success across students from diverse backgrounds. She appreciates the advocacy of the Graduate Student Government Association for their support of introducing Knack peer tutoring, part of the Graduate Transformative Teaching and Learning initiative.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
