Hi everyone! My name is Charlie. I am a qualified teacher from the UK, with a neutral English accent. I have been teaching English for over 30 years: in England and abroad (mainly in France and the French Caribbean). I have traveled in many countries including China, Brazil and most European countries. I speak fluent French and am currently learning Mandarin Chinese - so I well understand the difficulties of language learning! :) What I really love about teaching English is learning about other cultures and helping people change their lives, through communicating in a new language. I have a bachelorā€™s degree in English and French, and a Cambridge University TESOL Diploma (350 hours).

Charlie always gives me surprises. We only had one class last year, but he recognized me in our first class this year and remembered our conversation. And he prepared each lesson very carefully. His sincerity so touched me. In our second class this year, he used a different method to help me prepare for the interview and understand the value and needs of the company, which inspired me. Anyway, I am always happy to chat with Charlie.

He is a knowledgeable teacher. His lessons not only help me learn and read in English, but also provide a lot of additional information. These methods seem to be effective in motivating people to learn English.

Chat with Charlie, Speak Smartly! With Charlieā€™s Aid, Mistakes Fade! Looking for an English language trainer whoā€™s patient, wise, and truly cares about your progress? Then Charlie is your guy! Heā€™s not only "old but gold" when it comes to words, but heā€™s also incredibly attentive. You can see him note down every detail you share, carefully tailoring his teaching methods to suit your needs. That level of dedication is rare with other tutors with whom I have interacted in my country! Charlie is a classic man with the wisdom of words, and he makes you feel like youā€™re chatting with a close family member. His charm and patience create a comfortable learning environment, so you never feel judged. Instead, he helps you correct and connect, ensuring every conversation builds your confidence. In just two classes, Iā€™ve gone from mumbling to marvelous! His focus on idioms and phrasing has helped me speak bright and right, all while making me feel at ease.
