Varsity Tutors GED Tutoring review

Varsity Tutors is the pick for learners who want a private tutor rather than a course. Its GED tutoring page offers private 1-on-1 tutoring, weekly live classes for academic support, and practice tests and diagnostics, and it shows profiles of certified GED tutors with their degrees and years of tutoring. You start by filling in a short form, which Varsity Tutors says takes about a minute with no obligation, or by calling a specialist at (888) 888-0446. The main drawback is cost transparency: the GED tutoring page does not publish prices, so you only learn the rate after talking to the company, and private tutoring generally costs more per hour than any self-paced course on this list. A tutor can be worth it if you have tried studying alone and stalled on one subject, such as math. If you mainly want live teaching at a known price, GED Live's $170 for 180 days of classes or Peterson's Core Prep Plan with 90 tutoring minutes are easier to budget.
