George Y.
Private tutor in Nashville, NC
Education
I have been a college professor over 40 years. As an undergraduate student, I began my studies in math and English at the University of Illinois. I did my graduate work at Eastern Illinois University and Florida State University. After I finished my doctorate, I did my post-doctoral work at East Carolina University. I love to teach and I love to learn. All in all, I have studied and taught in over 10 colleges and universities. I trained teachers for 20 years while teaching in Florida; I also taught math, English, music (choirs, voice and piano lessons) as well as speech communications during those years and another 22 years in NC. I have won a number of teaching awards in schools where I have taught. I continue to stay active as an adjunct at a local college.
Experience
Along with teaching, I have traveled nationally as a guest speaker and lecturer at conventions and schools in almost every state in the union, including Alaska. In addition, I have tutored and helped dozens of students achieve their goals in several fields of interest in order to pass courses and exams. It's extremely rewarding to work with smaller groups and individuals to help each accomplish his/her goals. Acceptable SAT scores are a challenge for some. Students have been delighted to work with me in order to see their test scores rise considerably in order to get into colleges and universities of their choice. While there is no guarantee, I have helped students raise SAT scores over 300 points. One additional experience I believe has helped develop my tutorial and teaching skills has been writing and producing promotional videos and films that have been seen by over a quarter million people.

Hobbies
I love to travel; I enjoy music and films. I especially enjoy spending time with my 5 children and grandchildren. They have all completed college degrees (as well as some advanced degrees) and each one has become successful in various careers. I have been an antique collector in years past, and I enjoy baseball, some basketball and football teams, especially those in our area. My interest and children and grandchildren's interest in baseball, especially, starts with my father's (their grand father/great grandfather) attempt to make it into the majors for the St. Louis Cardinals many years ago. He played for their farm teams. We head out in a few weeks to St. Louis for a couple games.
