Student-Athlete Academic Services offers free one-on-one tutoring to all student-athletes for a variety of UNLV courses throughout the academic year and summer sessions. There are primarily two types of tutors: content tutors and strategic tutors. Content tutors assist student-athletes in specific courses and stress the student–athletes’ responsibilities for success in their academics. Subjects tutored typically include but are not limited to the following:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Math
• Economics
• English
• Psychology
• History
• Kinesiology

​Strategic tutors assist student-athletes in various subjects (excluding science and math) in order to improve the student’s study, organization, time management and test preparation skills. Student-athletes have the option to meet with a tutor weekly or meet with a tutor on an occasional basis. Student-athletes may request a tutor for each UNLV class they are currently enrolled.

Student-Athletes can book appointments through Rebel Success Hub.

The tutor program is an important academic support service offered by Student-Athlete Academic Services and qualified tutors are integral to the success of this program. The tutor’s main role is to promote and enhance student-athletes’ academic skills. Student-Athlete Academic Services is seeking individuals with strong communication skills and the ability to relate to students with diverse academic backgrounds. As we are guided by the UNLV Student Conduct Code and the rules and regulations set forth by the Mountain West Conference, the NCAA, and UNLV, this responsibility is one that should be taken seriously. Tutor-student placements will be made based upon the students' subject requests and their daily availability. You may be scheduled up to a maximum number of hours per week as you're willing to work.
