What Our Students Say

MTC GED Program, I would like to express my gratitude to Gwen. She played such a key role in helping me achieve my GED. I enrolled in a different online school two years in a row and was not able to complete the school. I believe with Mrs. Gwen’s help and encouragement, I was able to receive my GED from the MTC GED program. – Thank you,
Sheldon Rahimi 
Good morning, Gwen.  I just want you to know that I finished my last test and officially got my GED.  I want to tell you big THANK YOU!  You answered my emails in shortest time, explained everything and encouraged to keep it up and finish on time. I can’t explain how much that means, especially answering emails, that shows that you really care.  I wish you blessed and beautiful summer. 
Nikolina
