About
George Tait’s Biography
My name is George Tait and I am new to the teaching profession. I have lived 15 years of my life on the other side of the Atlantic, first in Norwich, England then university in Manchester before returning to the US and my home of VT. After 5 years in environmental research labs that brought me to the Nicholas School at Duke I jumped at the chance to teach chemistry at Excelsior. I have always enjoyed working with children and teaching so this seemed a perfect fit for me.
