Pros

If you’re good with kids and or math then this job is easy. All your co-workers will be nice people, 22-24 years old, nice boss. Very positive work environment. Opportunities exist for extra hours if you’re interested in tutoring incarcerated students (also all nice kids). There are limited opportunities to be promoted to site director after a year, but the opportunity definitely exists.

Cons

Dress code is my biggest complaint! If you’re a guy then be prepared to overdress, you’ll need to wear dockers, a button down, and a tie every day. The actual teachers at your school will probably be wearing a tee and jeans so you’ll stick out. Women basically show up in leggings and a teeshirt most days despite then dress code, totally gender biased dress code. This needs to be addressed. Also, you only get two sick days and two personal days, you won’t be paid for snow days or holidays.

Pros

-Amazing opportunity to serve students, build relationships, and grow as a tutor and mentor -SAGA has a strong but not overly intense organizational culture -Working with a team keeps work energized and provides opportunity for lots of collaboration and support through any emotionally difficult aspects of working with students. -Strong, inspiring leadership in site directors and program directors who are committed to tutor development and consistent feedback -Agency in choosing school location/supervisor

Cons

-You could certainly make more money working as a private tutor, but the real value of working at SAGA is improving educational outcomes for students in Chicago Public Schools that need tutoring but might not seek it out outside of school and may not be able to afford private tutoring. -SAGA has not implemented much at all in the way of cultural competency training. Though a tutor's familiarity and willingness to work in low income communities of color is a pretty important component of the interview process, it has not carried a sustained conversation. I know SAGA is making efforts to change this and implement training for the 2018-2019 school year.
