I have been coming to China for the past twenty five years and have always found Chinese students to be the most intelligent students in the world. They are curious, clever, and well-informed, holding on to traditional values while being hurled into the future at dizzying speeds. Teaching them to "think outside the box" in an individual manner can (sometimes) be challenging. Critical analysis and challenging the teacher is frowned upon, but there are also many students who have traveled outside of China, who exhibit many traits of "the avarage American or European" student. I have taught at all levels of the educational system in China - from Primary School to a major university, Soochow University.

My present position in Changhzou (Jiangsu Province) is stimulating because the students are eager to learn. They are willing to be challenged, and show great intellect and dynamic, creative minds. The Changhzhou School environment is pleasant with all ameneties close by. High speed internet is readily available on the campus. The classrooms are clean, supplied with the most modern technological teaching aids, including computer capabilities and large screens. The food on the campus is wonderful and everyone is very helpful. I find that the students I am presently teaching are some of the brightest Chinese students I have seen. I am looking forward to learning a lot, as well as constantly stimulating these future Chinese leaders' amazing growth.
