Welcome to the Office of Student Academic Success!
The Office of Student Academic Success, a branch of the University of Maine’s College Success Programs, manages free tutoring through the Knack platform and provides success coaching for students at the University of Maine.
We Are the Home of Peer Tutoring Across Campus
We believe that the best tutors know what it takes to excel and want to help students do the same. Our office manages a peer-to-peer tutoring platform called Knack that connects students in need with peer tutors who’ve already aced the class.
We provide success coaching to first-year students
We believe that students are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, not broken (they don’t need to be fixed), and are experts in their own lives. We provide academic coaching to students whose needs extend beyond a single class.*
