English Internships
The Southeast San Diego Tutoring Program
The Southeast San Diego Tutoring Program offers students the opportunity to intern at a local, low-income elementary school or middle school (K-8), tutoring children in basic reading, writing and math. By devoting time to tutoring and keeping a weekly journal assignment, students earn academic credit and reap the rewards of helping kids.
Students decide the number of hours per week they wish to tutor and the regular tutoring times that fit their schedules (min. 3 hours/week, 30 hours/semester).
Lower Division (Freshman/sophomore with >60 units):
ENGL 292: Section 01 (3 hours/week for 1 academic credit)
