George G.

Hello! I am a college writing professor at the Community College of Rhode Island, where I have taught for two years. I have recently completed a book about a park in the Adirondacks, in New York. I also write articles for Providence Monthly magazine and Suite 101.com online.

I have an M.A. in English and enjoy helping people with their reading, writing, and other school needs. I believe that reading and writing are both skills that many people can learn to improve for both school and business.

In addition to writing and grammar studies, I also know how to help people with their math problems. I was able to achieve a 780 on my math SAT. I can help students with algebra and geometry classes.

Although writing is my main passion, I enjoy playing music as well. I play several instruments, including the piano and bass. I was also a ranked chess player and can teach beginners some of the most important openings, strategies, and end game positions.

General Music

I am an all-around musician, who plays string bass, electric bass, piano and guitar. I was an all state bassist and continue to play music with others in the area.

I enjoy rock, reggae, jazz, classical and zydeco.

As a teacher at CCRI, I welcome students of all ages and musical interests.

Piano

Greetings! I am a piano teacher with over 20 years experience playing the instrument. I have formally studied several other instruments as well, including the concert bass and the acoustic guitar.

Music is a wonderful way to learn connectedness, concentration, and dexterity. I employ a teaching method that focuses on core basic skills from the outset, and then develops those skills slowly and methodically until the student's independent and unique abilities take shape.

Chess

Chess is a wonderful game to play and teach. As a student, I learned many opening and end game strategies, and play at the class A level.

I welcome any age of beginner student. I would love to share some of the game's strategies from the French defense to the Maroczy bind. Please give this game a try!
