Pros
- Good gap year job - Building relationships with students - Working as a team with fellow tutors and supporting one another - Training prior to starting the job helps prepare you for the style of tutoring SAGA expects - Curriculum is continuously being improved and respond to feedback - Site director support when concerns and difficulties arise
Cons
- Down sizing for the upcoming year, job promotions were few and far between for current tutors (seems harder to move up from a fellow in subsequent years) - Lacking communication from upper management after initial training - Difficult behavior from students - The focus on test scores and students' performance can be deterring, especially during evaluative periods - The pay is really difficult as a fellow, and many fellows leave after 1-2 years
