Hello, I’m Charles

 

As a native English speaker from Nottingham, I’ve spent over thirty years honing my teaching skills. I hold a Master’s degree in Law and Philosophy from the University of Oxford, as well as the Cambridge Certificate in English Language Teaching for Adults.

Throughout my career, I’ve taught in the UK, Italy, and Portugal.  I have also served as the Director of Studies for the UK’s largest English language summer school at Royal Holloway, University of London. The rest of the year, I specialise in business English, but more recently, I’ve focused on preparing students for the IELTS exam.

I’ve come to recognise how crucial IELTS is. A high score opens doors to top English-speaking universities, leading multinational companies, and even government and immigration opportunities. It’s becoming a must-have qualification on any CV.

Teaching IELTS has become one of my greatest passions. It’s incredibly rewarding to help students realise their dreams of studying and working in English-speaking countries.

I’d love to help you reach your goals too. Book a free, no-obligation consultation today, and let’s start working together!
