2024 GED/HiSET or Adult Basic Literacy Tutoring Application

Before getting started, here are some things to know about our GED/HiSET/Basic Literacy tutoring program.

• You must be 17 or older to participate in our tutoring program.
• It may take several weeks or months before we have a tutor who is available to meet your needs. Most GED students are placed in a few weeks, but it often takes longer if you have limited availability to meet consistantly at the same time each week. 
• You may be eligible to access the Aztec Courses  at no cost to you. This will allow you a personalized study plan and resources that you can access from home. You may use the Aztec preparation program with or without a tutor. 
• Once we match you with a tutor we ask that you commit to meeting for at least one hour per week for at least six months.  
• You can borrow the approved calculator from our collection if you have/get a DCL card.  These are available for check out for 4 weeks and may be renewed several times.  Cell phones and unapproved calculators cannot be brought into the testing center.
• As long as you are keeping your regularly scheduled meetings and making a sincere effort on the homework that your tutor gives you, your tutor has been asked to help you until you are ready to pass at a level you are proud of in that subject. If you are ready to test, we will encourage you to do so as soon as you can schedule it.   You should expect a minimum commitment of 3 months, but know that some students study for over a year.  Your HSE credentials demonstrates that you have the equivalent knowledge of someone who has completed four years of high school.
• If you cannot meet regularly, we will ask that you apply again to the program when you can commit to regular meetings.
• If your tutor is missing sessions, we will try to find a new tutor for you.
• Our program is free.  Your tutor is a volunteer.  They do not expect payment for their services and are not allowed to accept payment. They are teaching you because they want to help our community.  
• Your tutor will have received training but may be new to teaching.  They, too, are learning even as they help you learn.    Our Tutors are volunteers who may not have extensive, professional training in teaching people with learning disabilities. 
• Your tutor will have passed a criminal background check.  We only use volunteer tutors without a criminal history.
• You will always meet your tutor in a public place. Most tutors meet their students at the library in our study rooms.
• Your tutor is not allowed to give you rides and is not allowed to accept rides in your car.
• We do not allow family members or friends to be tutored together.  Children should be left in the care of another trusted adult during your lessons.
• We work with community partners to provide scholarships to help our students demonstrating readiness pay for their official test. These scholarships are limited to Douglas County residents.
• When you earn your diploma, we will invite you to attend a graduation ceremony to celebrate your accomplishment. Gradutation ceremonies are held in the spring.
