Divya Sharma

For Divya Sharma, joining Saga Education was an opportunity to share her love of math. But it quickly became much more than that—it was a way to step out of semi-retirement and immerse herself in a new and eye-opening experience. Working at Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in Baltimore City was Divya’s first time in an American school. Coming from a suburban background, she found herself navigating a completely different educational culture. Every day felt like an immersive experience in a new country, filled with challenges, surprises, and moments of connection. Through Saga, Divya discovered that not only did she have the skills to teach, but she also truly loved it. The dynamic environment of the Saga Math Lab, where tutors from diverse backgrounds come together to engage students, has reinforced the power of exposure to different people, cultures, and mindsets. It’s a place where mathematics becomes more than just numbers—it becomes a way to build relationships, break barriers, and inspire curiosity. For Divya, working in education is an adventure, filled with leadership and theatrical qualities. Whether navigating busy school days, earning students’ trust, or embracing the unpredictable nature of a Baltimore City school, she sees every moment as part of a larger, impactful journey. Her advice to anyone considering a career with Saga? If you love people and embrace the unexpected, this is the place for you.
