Biting?

I recently found a two year old male cat that has a problem with 'playful biting'. The worker at the shelter uses her fingers as toys, enticing him to bite her 'playfully'. I've researched playful biting, and all the websites, and other volunteers at the shelter advise not to use your hands as toys. Other than the biting issue, he's a beautiful sweet guy. Would I be able to teach him not to bite? Or would I be inheriting a permanent behavioral issue?

Anything would be helpful.
