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

Melody

Keuze van de leerkracht
My child Melody has been learning English with Charlie for more than half a year and during this time I have noticed that Melody has improved a lot. In terms of speaking, not only is she more confident and fluent, but she often gets full marks in her essays during school exams. Melody said that teacher Charlie's class was very informative, grammar and humanities, and very interesting. Teacher Charlie is also very responsible, and will leave Melody with homework for her to consolidate in each class. In short, choosing teacher Charlie was one of the best decisions I made.

The teacher is very patient and interesting. We were talking about Chinese culture and teas. Also he was correcting me my mistakes and how to pronounce correctly the words.
