George joined the National Hispanic University in 2001 as English professor, and is currently the coordinator of the Student Academic Assistance Center (SAAC).

Prior to his tenure at NHU, George taught in various colleges in the Bay Area: at Ohlone College in Fremont and at West Valley College in Saratoga. While at West Valley, he also served as skills lab coordinator and worked with diverse students from the Middle East, East Asia, South and Central America, and European countries. He also taught English at Evergreen Valley College.

Prior to the working in the Silicon Valley, George worked in Teheran, Iran, as an English Instructor at I. Free University, Faculty of Foreign Languages, at the Iran Language Institute (formerly Iran American Society) and at the National Institute of English.

 
His teaching philosophy is to enhance students’ literary and linguistic knowledge, to challenge and invigorate their critical thinking and bolster their intellectual repertoire by encouraging and ultimately turning the students into curious and open-minded individuals who weigh and evaluate literary, prose passages for themselves and not merely be the recipient of a set of analyses and interpretations.

George was born in Tehran, and speaks Farsi/ Persian and English fluently. He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s in English language and literature with additional graduate work in teaching English as a second language.

George enjoys visiting relatives, reading, and traveling. He is the proud father of a son, born in January 2005.
