Our Tutors

Our Math Tutors are selected from a diverse group of individuals from various backgrounds across the United States to support our students in mathematics; each tutor brings their unique skill set to assist students’ success. We seek talented, caring, and capable people committed to supporting our students in their academic and social development.

What You’ll Do

Saga Education’s Math Tutors manage a small caseload of middle or high school students and promote academic success by focusing intently on providing high-dosage, high-impact tutoring that includes daily individualized instruction to students. During a typical school day, tutors will work in-person with students during multiple class periods and facilitate lessons. Tutors will implement Saga’s proprietary curriculum to foster academic success and help students reach their goals. In addition to offering academic support, our math tutors will serve as advocates and mentors, building strong, meaningful relationships with their students. Some of the key responsibilities for this role include:

  • Provide daily math tutoring to your assigned caseload of students for multiple class periods

  • Proactively check and respond to emails and Slack daily, and regularly consult with your Site Director and/or Director of Program
  • Participate in weekly observation and feedback sessions with your Site Director and/or Director of Program, as well as weekly reflections and professional development for continuous growth
  • Build strong relationships with students to effectively set expectations and manage behavior
  • Build strong relationships with teachers, other staff and the community
  • Engage and assist with other duties as assigned by your Site Director and school site
