Student-Athletes 

One-On-One Tutoring

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.
