Your professional journey can start here! This page includes job descriptions, eligibility requirements, and application links to join our Supplemental Instruction (SI), tutoring, or front desk team. Applicants must be current UNLV students with strong interpersonal communication and critical thinking skills who are passionate about helping other students learn.
Become a SI Leader
SI leaders partner with a historically difficult course during the semester by conducting a free, peer-led study group. This provides an interactive environment to assist students with course concepts and an opportunity to discuss learning strategies. SI Leaders will attend the assigned course as a model student, develop lesson plans that utilize collaborative learning techniques, facilitate between two SI sessions per week in sequence with course material, and hold office hours to answer additional questions from students that attended their SI sessions.

Front Desk Leader (FDL)
The Academic Success Center (ASC) houses tutoring labs in the Lied Library and Thomas Beam Engineering Complex.

The FDL will support day-to-day tutoring lab operations, greet and check-in students, supervise the lab spaces, and assist graduate assistant managers with daily procedures.
