When I can, I love nothing better than to embark on new explorations of the mountain forests, photographing & documenting local fauna & wildlife. I also keep fit with Daoist exercises & gardening, enjoy loose leaf teas, cook with beans, study Chinese etymology, embark on home DIY projects & catch up on tech & world current affairs.

🥹Charles is a very patient and professional teacher. His lessons have helped me become more confident and understand my weaknesses in different parts of the speaking test more clearly. The class atmosphere is relaxed, but the lessons are well-structured and practical. I’m truly grateful for his encouragement and guidance, because they have made me feel more confident and less confused during my speaking practice.🥰🥰🥳🥳

Mr. Charles is a great teacher to my child. He is a teacher who talks about children's interests together, draws pictures, and leads them to fun and interest. My son has improved his English with teacher Charles and I am very satisfied with you. Thank you, Charles. ^^

😋Charles helped me a lot with tenses and grammar, which used to be very confusing for me. His explanations are clear, patient, and easy to understand. His grammar lessons really focus on the problems I struggle with, and now I feel less confused and more confident when speaking. I’m starting to really enjoy Charles-style grammar lessons!🥳🥳🥳
