What We Do
Inside each of us lives a story waiting to unfold. And at Saga Education, we know every student is capable of shaping a story of success -- in school, and in life. But not every student has had a fair chance to see it. So, we’re partnering with schools across the nation, leveraging the proven power of tutoring relationships to help students unlock their potential.
Through our Saga Direct model, our highly trained Saga Fellows and staff have supported thousands of students in high schools from Chicago to Florida with consistent, personalized, in-school day math tutoring. And rigorous research shows it works. Not only to raise math scores, but to foster the confidence and sense of belonging that underpin all academic success. With Saga, students can go deeper, teachers can move faster, and families can dream bigger.
As America’s most trusted leader on powerful tutoring relationships, we also offer consulting services and best-in-class math tutoring and learning technology. And to ensure any student in any school can benefit from all we know and continue to learn, we offer a suite of information and tools that any school or educator can access for free. Because we believe when every student has access to a relationship that helps them see their potential, every student can achieve it. And envision a new story, for their school, for their community. For themselves.
