Tutoring

The Mathematics Center at UNR offers free mathematics and statistics walk-in tutoring for students enrolled in any UNR course.  


Our space is equipped with a 20 station computer lab so tutors can help students with online homework as well as traditional assignments.  There is no limit to how many times students can visit the lab during the semester or how long they stay.  

  • A student ID (Wolf Card) is required for EVERY visit (it helps us get funding).  Knowing your NSHE ID-number will not be accepted as a substitute.  

  • Tutoring is available during our regular hours of operation. 

  • Our tutors, their specific hours and their skill level can be found on our facebook page. 

  • Every semester students are required to sign our student polices form (listed below).
