Pros

Working with students is great. You really start to see a difference in the skills of your kids and get to know them over the course of the year. This job forces you to get really good at managing your time.

Cons

Tutors are underpaid. Because of funding that was lost last year, SAGA eliminated a bunch of positions and it falls to the SDs and tutors to pick up the slack and do extra tasks that there really aren't time for in the day. I end up doing lesson planning and other work at home, unpaid.

- They care about the gaps in students' understanding of math - They have a wide variety of resources - Their teaching platform is complete with all the resources to help tutors teach - They make expectations clear for tutors - The staff care about the personal and professional growth of the fellows

Cons

Not much, as long as you take the opportunities being presented to you and pave your own way.
