George Hamilton

Dr. Hamilton Holds a Bachelor’s and a Master of Liberal Arts from the University of Pennsylvania and a Doctorate from Universidad Azteca. His doctoral dissertation, The Development of Sandinista Thought in the 21st Century and Its Implications on Central American Stability, reflects his deep interest in the relationship between ideology, policy, and regional dynamics in Latin America.

George’s teaching career has been shaped by a commitment to helping students understand not only historical events, but also the systems, ideas, and human stories behind them. He has taught Advanced Placement history and literature courses to students from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds, customizing each course to meet students where they are and building it outward from their interests and goals.

His work also extends beyond the classroom. George has collaborated with non-governmental organizations such as Schools for Chiapas, pairing his academic expertise with on-the-ground efforts to support community education and development. These experiences continue to inform his teaching, especially his emphasis on global awareness, civic responsibility, and understanding the lived realities behind geopolitical narratives.

At Cicero, George brings together his scholarly background and his gift for one-to-one learning. He builds courses that invite students to follow their questions, think critically about the world, and see themselves as participants in a much larger human story. His goal is simple and steady: to help each student grow into a more thoughtful, informed, and capable version of themselves—one meaningful conversation at a time.
