About Charlie
I am a friendly, reliable and professional teacher with extensive analytical reading and essay-writing experience. Having tutored English, both as a second language and as a subject to a multitude of different ages and in various subjects, I have a proven track record of successfully improving my students' comprehension and reading/writing ability. I have received a First Class, literature-based Classics degree at Durham University and have a long-standing passion for all things English, relishing in the opportunity to help others learn more about this versatile and remarkable subject.
I have been tutoring professionally for over 2.5 years and spent 6 months teaching English Language, Literature and History in an overseas International school. It was an incredible rewarding experience and enabled me to develop students' abilities and enthusiasm to talk about texts!
I cannot wait to help the student navigate their way through such an exciting subject, whether it is from reading improvement and general literary discussion to confidence building in writing top essays.

My teaching methodology works on a student by student basis to ensure they are able to develop the skills according to their literature needs. Learning methods range from active recall and developing technical skills (from close textual analysis to grammatical comprehension), to improving reading and writing abilities.
My extensive and professional experience in teaching English has equipped me with the ability to provide valuable insights into the English language and all its subtleties and imagery. My earlier involvement with reading groups in helping younger high schoolers better their literary comprehension provided me with a greater understanding of a students' needs and initiated my desire to pursue teaching.
With an understanding of school and exam pressure no matter the age, each lesson will be as engaging as possible to ensure the student develops their English skills in a stress-free environment. I know firsthand how crucial this is.

I can't recommend and thank Charlie enough. She has tutored both of my children through their GCSEs. English language and literature did not come naturally to either of them and the thought of sitting these exams caused much stress until we met Charlie. My daughter came away with a 7 in both language and literature (from a 5, 5 in her mocks) and my son a 6 in both (from a 3, 4 in his mocks). Charlie is a committed and flexible tutor who adapts to the needs of her pupils. She was always on hand to answer any questions they had or to just provide much needed support. Charlie is friendly and approachable. An absolutely excellent tutor whose results speak for themselves.
I tutored alongside Charlie whilst at school and have first hand experience seeing how patient, professional and successful she was at teaching reading to students with reading and learning difficulties. I have no doubt that she’d be an incredible tutor, taking on your concerns and working alongside tutees to reach their academic goals.
Charlie helped my son to gain confidence with his reading abilities a few years ago. Having only just got to grips with the alphabet I could see a fantastic improvement with his understanding of words through the Biff, Chip and Kipper books.
It was wonderful having her patient and friendly help and I hope she goes on to tutor many little ones to learn to read.See more recommendations
