Preparing emacs for “hands-on-guiles-scheme” class. I cannot load the required files.
Error (use-package): Failed to install geiser-guile: GnuTLS error: #, -110
Error (use-package): Cannot load geiser-guile
it seems the website has a problem. Browser fails to load gnu.org website also.

Did you try with a proxy/vpn? GNU sites are unreliable sometimes, so trying later could also help.

Thanks Trevor, I have tried several different things for 3 days. Not sure what to do.

I think it’s your connection. Either you are blocked by gnu.org or your ISP blocks it (ex. region blocked by their hosting). You tried using a proxy/VPN/Tor to access it from the browser?
