PeerKonnect alleviates stigma behind getting help, and enables ANY student in your school to get the help they need.
Students directly request tutoring sessions and provide feedback, while teachers/admin are provided with more data and insight on their students than ever before.
No more pencil/paper programs or manual spreadsheet matching. We make the lives of student tutors, tutees, and faculty much easier.

“My experience with Woodward PeerKonnect has been great! It is super easy to use, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs any tutoring help!”
