Introduction
With over 20 years of experience teaching GED® Preparation classes, I have helped hundreds of students pass the GED® exam. While math is my area of expertise, I possess the skills and knowledge to prepare students for the science test on the GED® exam as well. This course is designed to give you the answers to many of your questions about the testing and how to best prepare.
This class is scheduled to meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 12:00pm in an OnlineLIVE format through Zoom.
