"I have enjoyed my lessons with Charlie so much. The learning materials that Charlie sends before each lesson are excellent and provide a really good base for revising in my own time. Charlie’s style is engaging, full of enthusiasm and humour, and there is a great blend of tasks, listening, speaking and discussion. Frankly, Charlie has succeeded where so many language teachers of my youth couldn’t - she has made learning languages fun. I am really grateful for that."
Charlie is a great teacher and has given me confidence to start speaking Spanish again after many years. Her lessons are well structured and she provides lots of supporting materials to help me between lessons. She is also very flexible around content and pace, and always checks to ensure I am happy with what we have covered in a lesson before moving on to the next topic. I would thoroughly recommend Charlie.
I have been learning Spanish with Charlie for only five weeks, but even in this short time I know I have made a great choice of tutor. Simple teaching technique and a very friendly person too.
As an older couple, having spent years trying to learn Spanish,  we are so glad to have finally found Charlie. Her enthusiasm and constructive tutoring is excellent, giving us the confidence  to enjoy learning that we haven't felt previously.
"Charlie is a very thoughtful teacher, she puts so much energy and enthusiasm into how she presents the material which makes her lessons fun and engaging! She's always patient, supportive and encouraging which really helped me to grow in confidence and improve both my French and Spanish. I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone interested in learning either language - she's the best!"
Charlie is a great tutor, the lessons are always engaging and varied. They are also very well matched to my ability so they are challenging but I can always complete the work. My confidence in french has improved a lot since I’ve started tutoring!
Here are some of my most common questions.
If there is anything else you would like to know, you can always contact me here.
Many studies, including some from the U.S. Department of Education, show that online learning is just as effective as classroom learning, and in some cases even better when interactive learning elements are present. I've tapped into those insights to make sure our lessons are not just effective, but also super engaging for you.
Lessons are held via Zoom, a video conferencing platform. Each lesson involves real-time interaction with me, guided learning, and practice exercises.
You'll need a computer or device with internet access.
I provide all the learning materials.
Not if you don't want to be! I think it helps us connect, but, if you feel more comfortable without a camera, thats totally fine.
Each session typically lasts 60 minutes, though I offer longer sessions upon request.
