About Me

On my off time I enjoy teaching English and both styles of Chinese Mandarin, 國語 and 普通话. Although I am also able to speak Russian, Japanese, Turkish and a smattering of other languages, I primarily focus on the aforementioned. I am strong proponent of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, believing that language, culture and environment are all part of an integral unit and combine said components in my teaching methodology. I have taught both core languages here and abroad for the past 15 years with my most recent sabbatical stints at Taiwan’s Tainan University, China’s Hainan University and numerous Global IELTS Schools throughout China.

During the day I am a Polyglot managing director of information technology and security systems firm with 19+ years of strong domestic and international IT systems operations, development, and security experience. I have expert knowledge of Asia, Specifically Taiwan, Japan and China.

wang Min To Whom it May Concern It is with great pleasure that I write to recommend Tom Creedon to you. I have known Mr Creedon for the past two years and had the distinct pleasure of having him as my tutor in EIC college Beijing , in that time, he has demonstrated outstanding teaching methodology and maintained a great sense of responsibility. i also considered him as one of my most respectable tutor. Mr.Creedon perhaps stands out most with regard to his great talents of speaking several kinds of languages. He always believes that combining the culture with the languages is an effective way of mastering English. His deep understanding of the differences between Chinese and western culture made his classes quite unique .Due to his rich experiences, breadth of general knowledge and great sense of humor, the information given by him in the class was like water flowing smoothly from big container to small ones, and his classes were always a great enjoyment for us. Besides, he had keen ability
