Tutoring Information - University of Louisville Athletic

Tutoring is one of our most utilized resources and available to all student-athletes. Tutoring is provided to supplement classroom instruction to ensure student success. Tutoring primarily takes place in the Thorntons Academic Center of Excellence, where tutors meet with students one-on-one, in small groups, or in larger groups for test reviews.

The Tutorial Coordinator currently manages a group of approximately 80 tutors across all subject areas. She works with the Athletic Compliance office to ensure all tutors are staying within NCAA regulations and coordinates with the University's Resources for Academic Achievement (REACH) center to make sure tutors are internationally certified through the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA).

Our tutoring staff includes undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty/staff from UofL, community members, and teachers. Tutors’ work hours and scheduling are flexible, but schedules are based on student needs, which varies by semester. Tutors are paid $15 per hour and are evaluated each semester to determine continued employment.
