How To Tutor GED Math

I’m the math tutor who has the job of teaching students GED math. What it really means is that I figure out what isn’t known and teach it. I have done this in classroom settings. Over the years established computer workshops using literacy software I created. Now retired I developed math instruction for the GED online class. So what’s the problem?

  • The subject matter.
  • The student.
  • I.

How to provide one on one tutoring and coaching in the classroom as well as across the Internet. Let me start with the subject matter. I know the math. What’s on the test and the score necessary to pass. What I must find out is what each student doesn’t know and when they do know? That’s my task or to do list! The first class meeting teaches students how to store information and recall it from their memories. I forgot will not be tolerated as an excuse from a student.

Next the student has to do GED math and remember the GED math facts. I must guide and motivate the student in a trusted area, typically the home, to find the answers to the test questions. At the end of which his or her performance is measured to a standard. Students will be busy with:

  • Memory storage
  • Recall
  • Math information

Time will be spent on test strategies and whatever math weakness a student may have. Sometimes it might be how to divide or do probability. The weakness must be corrected whenever found.

I, in this case, the tutor must find any weaknesses, measure recall of math information. Small successes must be found in order to motivate and keep a student on goal. What successes? Improved memory, now students can divide when before they couldn’t. The students are making the passing quiz score or better in their work books.

A GED tutor and student are busy doing what needs to be done in order to pass the GED math test. The resources are:

  • A PC
  • The Internet
  • A GED math workbook for quizzes and reference.

The tutor will fill the students’ mental toolboxes with test strategies, practice, memory usage and confidence. Fixed schedules of lecture won’t work as effective as allowing students to learn what they must do and do what they learned!

Yes, you guessed it. More is being taught than math! No matter what’s claimed, the tutor will get to know each student and have to respond to each student. The teacher must connect with the student.
