Free SHSAT Prep Since 2017
Delta Prep was founded in 2017 by Arif Mahmud and Jeffrey Wong with a purpose - to provide students who are from low-income or immigrant families with free, high quality SHSAT tutoring. Our dream has never changed and will never change.
Ever since, we have had hundreds of students come through our doors to learn with our volunteer tutors who are either attending Specialized High Schools or have graduated from one.
Our SHSAT Prep is completely free and is completely volunteer run from our Board to our volunteers.
What Is It Like To Volunteer With Delta Prep?
The Delta Prep program has anywhere from 8 to 10 sessions that take place from July to August on Sunday mornings from 9AM to 12PM.
Upon sign-up, volunteers are able to choose from the following teams (we plan on adding more teams as the program develops):
Tutoring
Curriculum Development
Marketing and Advertising
Website Development/Design
Volunteers can expect to go through onboarding and comprehensive training to better assist both our team and students. After this training session, we may have a shadowing experience before volunteers are expected to own their work. Delta Prep is a small non-profit and regardless of which team you join, you will be able to see your work come to life in real time.
Tutors will also have access to the following by tutoring with Delta Prep:
Academic or professional advice and guidance from our Board of Directors and Executive team
References or Letters of Recommendation
Letters confirming volunteer hours
Access to our volunteer network and the ability to reach out for mentorship, guidance, or support
Delta Prep is a very transparent and open team. We frequently ask our volunteers if there is anything we can better and what they think has gone well. We take the feedback seriously as we believe everybody's opinion matters here.
What We Expect From Our Tutors
All of us at Delta Prep are volunteers (we are not paid) and we work here out of the goodness in our hearts. We expect our volunteers to share that same sentiment and to genuinely want to help our students. If we all put in 100% in our work, the difference we can create becomes even stronger.
Since your work directly affects our students - we value an open type of collaboration where everybody's opinion matters. We follow up with all volunteers after every class session and ask how their experience has been thus far. We ask for any feedback, anything that could be better, or any general suggestions so that we are able to make this experience better for all parties involved in Delta Prep.
If you have an idea or would like to work on something else, we are completely behind that. We can support you the best we can and will try everything in our power to give you the experience you are searching for.
If you want to make a difference, see your work come to life, and have an experience where you can grow, feel free to join our mission here at Delta Prep!
