Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 26 Feb 2021InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReizenHistory
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 bachelor’s degree in English and French, and a Cambridge University TESOL Diploma (350 hours).Ik als leerkracht
Do you dream of speaking English with confidence?
Do you need a qualification like a Cambridge exam or IELTS?
Would you like to develop your career prospects?
Are you planning to study or work in an English-speaking country?
I have helped 1000s of people to achieve dreams like these, and I can help you too!
I know it can be hard at the start, but learning one-to-one on Italki is different! We will focus on the parts of language that YOU need and discuss topics that interest you.
We will use grammar in contexts that connect with you, focus on your specific pronunciation problems. and with regular lessons on Italki you will make rapid progress. Soon, those dreams will become a reality! Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
We will work as a team. I like to make my lessons varied, organised and fun!
You tell me what you need, what your goals are, and what you find difficult.
I will listen to you, get to know you, and together we will decide on material, topics and a plan that will help you progress in a relaxed and structured way!
I can also correct your errors, improve your pronunciation, give you feedback – and, if you wish, work to do outside of class.Mijn lesmateriaal

Keuze van de leerkracht
Great, as always! For the last couple of years, I’ve been short on language practice, and having conversations with Charlie has been a godsend for my fading skills. If you’re looking for excellent pronunciation, the ability (and willingness) to discuss anything from philosophy to mortgages to birdwatching, and you value a good sense of humor, I highly recommend taking Charlie’s classes.

It’s enjoyable to learn English with this teacher. The lessons are usually discussions on various topics, and the teacher identifies my weak points and helps me improve them.
