You may also receive help in preparing for the GED or with earning your adult high school diploma. A learner can be anyone who has officially withdrawn from school. A tutor is an adult who has been trained in a VLP workshop and who wants to help you. Both learners and tutors in the VLP are volunteers who agree to work together. You will meet with your tutor at a nearby public library.
Libraries have books, tapes, records, and other materials to make learning more interesting.
You would meet with your tutor twice a week at your convenience. The sessions usually last from 1 to 2 hours. Some people learn better alone with a tutor than in a class or large groups. You will find out your strengths and needs in English, reading, math, and spelling. The VLP counselor will try to find the right volunteer tutor for you, and will provide the right books.
