About Me

Name: Thomas F. O'Neill

Location: Shenandoah, PA / Suzhou, China, Pennsylvania / Jiangsu, China, United States

I am currently working as a certified ESL teacher at a private school in Wuxi, China. I have also taught Primary School, Middle School, and High school in Suzhou, China. I am now currently a High school Teacher in Wuxi, in the Jiangsu province. I am also tutoring older students who are planning to travel to English-speaking countries. Some of my older students that I am tutoring are preparing to take their entrance exam for various Universities. I also volunteer for our school’s summer camp program. It is something I enjoy doing and at the same time the students learn a great deal about the western culture. I also worked at the SMIC summer camp in Shanghai in July of 2010 and 2011. During the last nine years I have been a volunteer teacher for the iCity charitable organization in Suzhou, China. I also have been doing a lot of volunteer work to promote our School.

American students have more free time to exercise their creative ideas ........ 🦅

In China, most people have to be told what to do step by step, but in America, you can tell people what you expect from them, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity. That reflects our two education systems; American students have more free time to exercise their creative ideas.

The Chinese students, however, have long classroom days, and their rote memorization is reflected in their lack of innovation.

It has been overemphasized that the average Chinese student can outperform Americans in the classroom - but remember that the most remarkable technological advancements that change the world originate from America.
