GED TUTORING NOW AVAILABLE

If you need tutoring in any of the five GED subjects, we now offer one-on-one tutoring at our Center. We have tutors who can give you the support you need to make sure you are successful on the test. Remember, if you started the test, you must finish it in 2013. Otherwise, in 2014, your scores will be disgarded and you'll have to take the new test and start all over. Now is the time to come back and--JUST DO IT! Call us at 215-745-0141. Ask to speak to Bonnie or leave me a message and we can get you set up. Tutoring is $15.00 an hour.

GREAT NEWS ABOUT GED TESTING SITES!!

I was so excited to learn that the three Philadelphia GED Testing sites will remain using paper for another year. I know it will be so hard for people who aren't proficient on the computer or keyboarding to pass the essay portion of the test, so this is excellent news. Our young people today have grown up with computers;however, people 40 and older haven't. Some of them would be totally overwhelmed having to take a test on the computer which I believe will drop the statistics next year of older people getting their GED. So for now, the news is good news! But be aware--you must complete your GED this year to keep any previous scores or new scores. At the end of 2013, they will be destroyed, and you will have to start all over again on the computer. Tester beware!

Times Running Out for Paper Testing

This is a reminder that if you want to take the test in Philadelphia using a paper and pencil rather than on a computer, your time is running out. By January 1, all testing will be done on the computer. This means extra anxiety for some people and extra money for everyone! Now is the best time to start classes so you can take the GED Test before it changes. New classes start for the morning, afternoon, and evening next week. Call us to set up an appointment to save your seat! Without your GED, remember--Life is going nowhere! Bonnie Kaye, Director

NEW MORNING CLASS ON SEPTEMBER 28

The Northeast GED Center is starting a new morning class on September 28. This class will be on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. for four weeks. Students must make every session because there are only 8 sessions. This class is limited in size due to the intensity of the program. We still have 4 seats left, so if you are interested call us at 215-745-0141.

DREAM LAW - GET LEGAL!

It's so sad that there are so many people who are caught in the web of not being legal. This applies to people who came here when they were children but their parents were not registered aliens. And so now they are here as adults and illegal, even though it wasn't their choice to be here. A new law has now gone into effect that will allow nearly 2 million people under the age of 31 to have the opportunity to become LEGAL if they have a high school diploma. For many people, this is the key to getting a driver's license, social security card, and application for citizenship. The Northeast GED Center is now registering a number of people with this problem so they can quickly get their GED and apply for legal status. If you know someone in this situation, you can have them call us and GET REGISTERED so they can GET LEGAL! Hope is there for those who are smart enough to take advantage of it. Our September morning, afternoon, and evening classes are gearing up, so give a call or visit us as soon as possible to register and save a seat. As of September, our prices are now $150.00, but that includes a $15.00 registration fee. Seats are filling up super fast, so don't wait too long! Bonnie Kaye, Director

BOOT CAMP IS COMING BACK!

Our annual GED Boot Camp classes will take place during the last two weeks of August. GED Boot Camp is a two-week program for three (3) hours a day for five days a week. It's a very intensive experience for people who are mature,focused,and determined. This means for two weeks, your life is ours! There will be no time for anything else because students have to be in class daily and do at least two hours of homework and study daily. GED Boot Camp classes will be offered in the morning and afternoon. Within two weeks, most students who devote their time to the program and study are ready to pass the GED Test. I tell people, "Only the strong survive!" You have to really want this to be successful with this training style. That's why it's called "BOOT CAMP"! If you think you're strong enough to do this--give us a call at 215-745-0141. We will also have a Math GED Prep class in the evening for people who didn't pass the Math section of the GED Test. This program is three evenings a week for two weeks from 5:30 - 8 p.m. Students attend class Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please call us at 215-745-0141 to make your reservation. The cost for this specialized program is $100.00 which includes 15 hours of instruction, the GED specialized book, handouts, and eight additional Saturday morning sessions of math. A $10.00 registration fee is also required.
