What my students are saying?

I really appreciate that you answer everyone's questions even if they are dumb and how you try to guide people to the right answer without just doing the work for them.
​Approachable, funny, cared about students understanding the concepts.
George was a phenomenal TA. His care for his students is unparalleled, and he would always do everything he could to help us succeed, whether hosting extra review sessions before tests, helping everyone in his office hours, assisting us in lab, or explaining the concepts that we did not understand. He went above and beyond as well, sending us scientific articles and papers that related to what we were learning. ​
He was an awesome TA and I wish I could have him for all my Chem courses at Tech. ​
