SAGA Education reviews

-Great mission. Our students are awesome, and working with SAGA 100% changed my life. It made everything else about this job so worth it for me – but that's not the case for everyone. You should really only apply if you think you'll be fulfilled by the work. -Much more supported than Teach for America or most other education service-year jobs. (You only work with a handful of students at a time, you work with a whole team that you can collaborate with, and you have a coach that is often a former teacher who can help manage emergencies or any other difficulties that arise.) -If you think you want to go into education, a year with SAGA will give you great experience, insight to what the job is like, and it won't burn you out. -Comprehensive training in the summer. The quality of SAGA tutoring is much higher than most tutoring jobs, and tutors learn so many valuable *teaching skills* in the 2-week summer training. (I'm now in grad school for math education, and all of SAGA's practices align with the forefront recommended practices for math teachers.)

SAGA's mission is admirable and so very important. Each student deserves a high-quality education, and SAGA helps students get this education through individualized tutoring. Not only do students get a tutor in a 2-on-1 setting, but they get so much more than a tutor. Fellows are advocates for students, are cheerleaders for students, and push students to reach their full potential. As an employee of SAGA I work towards the collective mission daily. In addition, I am personally cared for and valued as an individual for my strengths I bring to the table.
