My journey with languages 🗺️

I was not born into a bilingual family.
I had to learn everything from scratch.

Born in the UK - to very British parents 🇬🇧

Since childhood, my love for languages has driven me to promote multilingualism among Brits.

Won the French cup at school aged 9 🏆

Still, perhaps, my greatest achievment.

Studied both French and Spanish at university 🎓

During my time at university, I immersed myself in French and Spanish, laying the foundation for my language education career.

Moved to France 🥐 (and then Colombia💃)

I lived in Toulouse for two years, refining my French and later spent a year in Colombia, perfecting my Spanish whilst working at an international school.

10 years working as Head of Modern Foreign Languages 🫶

With a decade under my belt as Head of Languages in leading UK schools, I've fine-tuned the recipe for effective language instruction. I've worked on curriculum development, I have trained new teachers and I have helped thousands of students ace their GCSE and A-level exams. I bring this comprehensive background to each tutoring session to help you excel.

Started Lessons for Languages ❤️

My journey into online teaching started in 2020 and before long, I realised I was laying the foundation for my dream business.

Lessons for Languages is so much more than a job to me, I'm living my dream and I am so grateful that I get to share my passion for languages with people of all ages and walks of life.

I have enjoyed my lessons with Charlie so much. The learning materials that Charlie sends before each lesson are excellent and provide a really good base for revising in my own time. Charlie’s style is engaging, full of enthusiasm and humour, and there is a great blend of tasks, listening, speaking and discussion. Frankly, Charlie has succeeded where so many language teachers of my youth couldn’t - she has made learning languages fun. I am really grateful for that.

I was a little nervous about starting lessons as I hadn't studied a language for years but I haven't looked back! I'm so glad I found Charlie, her teaching style is engaging and fun and she put me at ease straight away. Thoroughly enjoy my sessions and have gained so much knowledge and confidence with my listening and speaking! 100% recommend!

I have been learning Spanish with Charlie for only five weeks, but even in this short time I know I have made a great choice of tutor. Simple teaching technique and a very friendly person too.

Charlie is a very thoughtful teacher, she puts so much energy and enthusiasm into how she presents the material which makes her lessons fun and engaging! She's always patient, supportive and encouraging which really helped me to grow in confidence and improve both my French and Spanish.

Charlie is a great tutor, the lessons are always engaging and varied. They are also very well matched to my ability so they are challenging but I can always complete the work. My confidence in French has improved a lot since I’ve started tutoring!

Still not sure about an online tutor?
Your questions answered 🙋

Here are some of my most common questions.
If there is anything else you would like to know, you can always contact me here.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?

Many studies, including some from the U.S. Department of Education, show that online learning is just as effective as classroom learning, and in some cases even better when interactive learning elements are present. I've tapped into those insights to make sure our lessons are not just effective, but also super engaging for you.

How do your online lessons work?

Lessons are held via Zoom, a video conferencing platform. Each lesson involves real-time interaction with me, guided learning, and practice exercises.

What tech do I need for the lessons?

All you need is a stable internet connection, a computer or tablet, and a willingness to learn! I'll guide you through the rest.

Do I have to be on camera?

Not if you don't want to be! I think it helps us connect, but, if you feel more comfortable without a camera, thats totally fine.

How long is each lesson?

Each session typically lasts 60 minutes, though I offer longer sessions upon request.

What are your qualifcations?

I was Head of the Modern Foreign Languages department at multiple schools. I have worked in high achieving schools in the UK, Europe and Asia for over 10 years.

How much do lessons cost?

Prices are different for private, group and business lessons. Please refer to my pricing page for detailed information.

What is the process if I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

I will always do whatever I can to rearrange a lesson at a more convenient time. Where possible please provide me with a minimum of 24 hours notice.
