About the GED: The GED (General Educational Development) exam tests students in math, language arts, science, and social studies.
Each subject requires a score of 145 to pass to earn a GED Diploma/Certificate (this can take place of a traditional high school diploma.
Individuals may be interested in earning a GED certificate because most workplaces require potential employees to have a high school diploma or the equivalent. Adults who didn't finish high school can meet that requirement by passing the GED exam.
About our GED tutoring program: Our GED tutoring program is a free program for Harlem Heights residents which relies on volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring tailored to the needs of their student. Students take a pre-test with us, then we determine which areas they need a tutor in. Volunteers may have a general education background and can work with the students in any of the 4 areas, or they may have a strong suit like math. This program is flexible, depending on the schedule of the volunteer and student (within the window of 9am-5pm Monday-Friday). This is a very impactful way to impact someone's life through one-on-one tutoring. You could help someone achieve their career goals.
