GED

I have great admiration for individuals who are focused on earning their GED. It show a tremendous amount of courage to face this type of challenge. I find that the most difficult aspect of the process for students is getting past the fear of facing material that is unfamiliar to them. I believe that working together we can build both skills and confidence and that students will find that they have abilities that they never realized they possessed.

John is a patient tutor.

He helped me with reading, math and Science. I like the way John explain things to me. I am not a fast leaner most of the time, but yesterday I got most of what he taught me.

Joanne, 1 lesson with John

John Is a Great Teacher and Very Patient with Me.

John has been a great tutor. His way of teaching math has made it so easy to understand and solve math problems. I had always had a hard time understanding this subject. With John's help, I'm feeling positive that I will pass the GED test when that time comes. I look forward to working with John on Tuesday.
