As a former lawyer, with a BA degree in English from Exeter University, I love teaching English to my many clients who work in Finance, the Law, Industry and Tech (employees from Google, Software houses, Manufacturing Industry ). I also help clients with Speechwriting, Presentations for conferences/meetings. I also help students with theirpronunciation.
My class preparing my clients for job interviews is popular and successful. A lot of my clients have had success in interviews after working with me and I will give you proven strategies to prepare you and boost your confidence. I teach clients how to "sell" their skills to employers. Please check out my reviews. Also University interview.Ik als leerkracht
I will use proven strategies to take you forward. We will practice conversation in real time and I will give you correction as we go along. Rather than complex rules of grammar, I will show you with real examples the correct use of English, and you will progress faster than you imagined. Using a relaxed method I often find that after a few lessons things that need to be corrected filter through and will become part of your everyday speech.
Alongside work that I do for interviews, is the work of CV Curriculum Vitae and Resume drafting. I will ensure that you do list your key skills and show you how to improve the layout. I have seen hundred of CVs and I can really help you here.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
We'll talk about the things that hold you back (often it's not even English related) so that you can break through the barriers that are keeping you stuck. For IELTS I will guide you carefully to success.
I will tailor specific tasks to help you in your business sector. For a student in real estate, we went to real estate websites to read and understand the articles there. One of my students was making a pitch to investors to raise funding for his business expansion and we looked at Investment vocabulary and then did a role play exercise where I was the investor, so that he made his pitch to me.
I really look forward to helping you and I am confident I can help you move forward.Mijn lesmateriaal

I thoroughly enjoy each and every lesson with Charles and find myself eagerly anticipating the next one. He possesses an incredibly keen eye for identifying hidden talents and untapped potential.
Not only does he inspire me to explore subjects more deeply than I've ever done before, but his genuine passion for the English language is also incredibly contagious. As a student, it motivates me to excel so that I can engage with him on an equal footing.
With Charles as my teacher, I feel inspired to push my boundaries and explore new avenues of thought, continuously driving my own intellectual growth.
Charles doesn't just teach English; he instils a love for the language and fosters a lifelong curiosity in his students. I am truly fortunate to be under his guidance, and anyone genuinely passionate about English would feel the same.

Charlie is a dedicated teacher. He quickly sorted out my English improvements and explained them to me in a way that was easy to understand. I would recommend him to any student who is serious about improving their English!

I definitely recommend taking lessons with Charles. He prepared me for my upcoming job interview and made sure that I know how to sell myself in an honest and precise way. (Yes, I have a tendency to circle around the actual point I wish to make. 😅 So I was glad he helped me to get to the core of my information.) Together we found out what I can improve on and what is already great as it is.
