Connected Academic Support for Student-Athletes
Every Polaris Athlete receives two free hours of test prep or academic tutoring. Yes, you read that right and we’re really excited about that! Two free hours of test prep or tutoring matter for access because they remove early barriers and create momentum at a critical point in a student-athlete’s journey.
Academic performance plays a critical role in college access for student-athletes.
Grades, course rigor, and standardized testing all factor into admissions, eligibility, and scholarship opportunities. Yet for many student-athletes, preparing for exams or keeping up academically happens alongside demanding training schedules, travel, and competition.
That is why Polaris Athlete partners with Revolution Prep, a national leader in test prep and academic tutoring. Together, we support student-athletes with flexible, personalized academic support that fits their schedule and aligns with long-term college goals.
Why Test Prep and Tutoring Matter for Student-Athletes
Student-athletes face a unique academic reality:
Limited time due to training, practices, and travel
High expectations from schools and coaches
Pressure to meet admissions and eligibility standards
Without targeted support, even strong students can find it difficult to balance everything effectively. Strategic test prep and tutoring provide structure, accountability, and clarity at moments when it matters most.
When done well, academic support does more than improve scores or grades. It builds confidence, study habits, and self-advocacy skills that carry into college.
Why We Partner with Revolution Prep
For starters, they’re really good at what they do! Revolution Prep brings a student-centered approach that aligns closely with the Polaris Athlete philosophy.
They offer:
One-on-one tutoring tailored to each student’s learning style
Personalized SAT and ACT test prep
Flexible scheduling designed for busy student-athletes
Professional tutors who focus on both performance and confidence
Most importantly, Revolution Prep meets students where they are. Whether a student needs targeted test prep, subject-specific tutoring, or ongoing academic support, their approach is built around progress, not pressure.
A Connected Approach to College Prep
At Polaris Athlete, we believe academic planning, test preparation, and college counseling should cohesively work together. This isn’t about overloading, rather it’s about alignment and intentionality.
Through our partnership with Revolution Prep, student-athletes receive academic support that aligns with:
Course planning and academic goals
Recruiting timelines and eligibility requirements
Individual strengths, challenges, and schedules
This connected approach ensures students are not preparing in silos. Instead, they are building an academic strategy that supports both admissions and athletic opportunity. Not to mention the groundwork in which future NIL partnerships will be built upon.
Supporting Confidence and Long-Term Success
Test prep and tutoring are not just about short-term outcomes. They are about helping student-athletes develop:
Strong study habits
Effective time management skills
Confidence in their academic abilities
With the right support, student-athletes can perform at a high level in the classroom while continuing to pursue their athletic goals.
