Tutor Tips and Volunteer Opportunities
HELPING STUDENTS STUDY FOR THE GEDFacing the challenge of taking the GED test can be daunting. You can help your student do their best by:
Studying for one section of the test at a time. Have your student choose the subject she feels the most confident about. Give practice tests often and encourage your student to take the official test for this subject when they are scoring above 90% on the practice tests.
Teaching test-taking tricks. Breathing exercises and creative visualization are two ways to get your students to relax before and during the test. Teach your students to stay calm and to maintain an "it's not the end of the world" attitude.
Being open and supportative. You and your student have the opportunity to form a unique bond of support. Your tutoring sessions can be a safe haven, where your student can feel safe and secure. Remember to listen to your student's concerns, even if they are not directly related to the topic at hand.

BECOMING A TUTOR
Becoming a tutor is easy, you need a sincere desire to help others. Then you need to study the tutoring manual and take a test. If you are interested in studying the manual, please contact sclp@epix.net and we will e-mail you the manual. When you feel confident that you know the material, you can then call one of the offices to make an appointment to take the test. You will then be matched with a student in your area.
