Background

About George Sweeney

I am an inspiring and confident educator, trainer, personal tutor and curriculum developer. I have been working in Math Education for 20 years and have been a tenured, community college professor for the last ten years. My specialty has been in the cognition of mathematical thinking and the development of mathematical communication to facilitate learning. Recently, I have begun to teach discrete mathematics and work in both machine learning and artificial intelligence. My goal as an educator is to expand my students' understanding of difficult and important mathematics and apply it to their various career and academic endeavors. I love the challenge of making abstract and complicated ideas come to life for students and help them make connections to a quickly changing world. Recently, I have taken on the role of a trainer in emotional intelligence and soft skills for Rise Up for You, where I use my experience teaching, interacting with students, and colleges and school districts to help professionals to become better communicators and managers of talent. My experience listening, managing expectations and developing curriculum and classroom experiences to maximize learning have created a natural connection to the world of training, communication, confidence and well-being coaching.
