Peer Tutoring

Northeastern Peer Tutoring collaborates with faculty and other stakeholders to recruit and hire highly qualified undergraduate students to become peer tutors on the Knack platform. Northeastern Peer Tutors on Knack can only tutor courses they have taken at Northeastern and received an A or an A- as a final grade. We also hire a number of highly qualified undergraduate students who are native language speakers to become peer tutors on Knack in order to support students enrolled in modern Language courses offered by the university. Additionally, all Northeastern peer tutors are trained in accordance with College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) tutor certification guidelines, and a great number of them are CRLA certified peer tutors.

English Language Tutoring through the International Tutoring Center

Global Student Success and the International Tutoring Center are dedicated to providing international and non-native English speaking students, scholars, faculty, and staff with comprehensive English language and academic support. Sessions are offered in a one-on-one format in Boston or online.  Online group conversation tutorials are also available.

Tutoring sessions are student-centered, meaning students can specify the type of help they’re looking for when booking an appointment. They can then choose a professional tutor who specializes in their area of need.

The International Tutoring Center is located in 175 Richards Hall on the Boston campus.  Information about appointments, including making a booking, can be found on the International Tutoring Center webpage. English Language online tutoring appointments are available to the entire global university system.
