What is The Preuss Tutor Program? 

The Preuss School is both a middle and high school, with classes taking place from 8:55 am - 4:00 pm. Each school year we look for dedicated tutors who want to make a difference in the lives of our students. We do not require a certain number of minimum hours from our tutors, as we appreciate any service time you are able to offer.

Tutor positions are available in many classroom subjects such as English, math, science, history, and spanish. 

Additional opportunities are available in various departments including Finance, Student Services, and Registrar. These positions do not work directly with students, but they instead provide assistance with data entry, filing, updating documents, and/or help with organizing events.

If you are interested in non-tutoring volunteer opportunities, please reach out to our School Operations Administrator, Shaoni Bandy, at sbandy@ucsd.edu.
