This course is intended for those students seeking to better understand the mathematics section of the GED test. Since it is not always possible to meet for face-to-face classes due to covid I have developed this course to help those students who still want to obtain their GED.
This is an online, self-paced course developed for you to access anywhere, anytime you want to. The good thing about this course is that you can do it however it best fits into your schedule. I've had students work in the different math sections when they get off of work at 6pm, or 2am, or before work.
I am here for you in case you need any help, please contact me by email and we can setup a Zoom or Skype meeting to help you. I have been teaching the full GED course at the local Community College where I live for the last three years and I have had very good success in getting my students to pass the actual GED test. It is my hope that you find this course to be challenging, rewarding and helpful in you obtaining your GED and moving on with your life's goals.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy this course.
