CharlieFrom Sarah (5/5): Charlie is a very dedicated, caring and brilliant tutor who brings a lot of energy with him; always full of life and willing to go that extra mile to help on days when it may not suit him. He is sincere, professional and very amiable. My son was very close to quitting Spanish GCSE before meeting Charlie as he wasn't getting anywhere at school and didn't like the language. After a few months of lessons with Charlie he started enjoying Spanish and his grades improved quite dramatically. Top man. Highly recommend.
Reply from: Charlie: Thanks so much Sarah. As you know, I loved working with Bertie and look forward to seeing how his future develops.
From Roy (/5): Charlie is a great teacher and someone I highly recommend.
He did a great job in helping me (a professional) to become more fluent and articulate in the business world.
In addition to that, we have established a great work relationship, thanks to Charlie's social skills, punctuality and ability to understand educational needs.

Reply from: Charlie: Thank you, Roy. I love working with you!
From Catalina (/5): I am currently working for a Tier 1 investment bank as software engineer in London.
It is easy to be a developer as long as your technical skill is good. However, if you want to progress your career to next level, you need to be professional in both technical and communication skills. Because English is not my first language, it is hard for me to progress to such level.
Charlie is the one who has helped me to progress my career. In the first lesson, he quickly identified my weakness and designed a series of useful lessons for me. He suggested books that suit my level. We also focus on soft/life skill whenever I require. Because of him, I can use more natural collocations, speak more clearly, and construct better sentences in my day to day work. This not only impact my career development, but make me more confident in my personal life.
We have been having sessions for nine months.
I would highly recommend him.

Reply from: Charlie: It's very rewarding to work with you, Catalina.
From Jen (/5): I can't recommend Charlie enough. My son has learning difficulties and Charlie got him through his GCSE English, a qualification I never thought he'd be able to achieve! In addition, Charlie is a lovely guy and a pleasure to have around. He teaches patiently, creatively and with great good humour. Now my son has got his GCSE, Charlie is helping him with life skills - filling in forms, helping him understand scams and frauds and a range of other useful real world subjects. He's great at coming up with ideas and keeping my son engaged.
Reply from: Charlie: Thank you so much, Jen! It's a great pleasure for me to have met both of you and play a supporting role in your son's development. He deserves all his success.
From Clare (/5): Charlie has been a superb teacher for my son.
He has made the lessons engaging and interesting and helped him to not only develop his vocabulary but also to develop his comprehension and understanding of articles he reads.
His end of year exams showed huge progress and he achieved way above average in his year, which was a lovely surprise for us !
I am extremely grateful to Charlie for his encouragement and continued enthusiasm in tutoring my son in this subject. Would definitely reccommend Charlie to anyone looking for an English tutor.

From Cathrin (/5): We feel so lucky to have met Charlie. He has been absolutely brilliant with our son. Charlie has kept the lessons engaging, interesting and informative and our eldest son has enjoyed learning with Charlie so much he wants to continue when school starts up again in September! We can not recommend Charlie highly enough.
Reply from: Charlie: Thank you for the encouraging comments, Cathrin. I have loved working with Jack, too.
From Rafael (/5): My tutoring sessions with Charlie have given me a huge level of confidence with my critical analysis, how to approach in a professional level my essays and develop my vocabulary.
One of the main reasons why I did contact Charlie in the first place was because he speakes Spanish which is my first language, so I thought that his support could be extremely beneficial and it was. I have been working with Charlie for 8 months now and since day 1 he has been able to work out with me different schedules for our sessions as I work and study at the same time. His support is exceptional.
I will most definitly recomend Charlie.
Thank you for all the help.

From Ege (/5): Charlie is a very good teacher with both very good Technical skills but also with the soft skills how he engages with my son to make sure he enjoys the lessons.
He has been very professional and structured on he appproaches the lessons but equially important is that he is taking time to undersand and set the goals of the end result desired to be achieved. So happy to see that it is working for my son. Thank you Charlie

From Treasa (/5): Charlie started tutoring Max, who is severely dyslexic, for Spanish IGCSE in Oct last year. He was an incredible tutor , very professional and worked tirelessly to find ways to help max remember his vocabulary. Max was predicted a 6 in spanish and achieved an 8 and this was without doubt due to the incredible guidance and work that Charlie did. I would have no hesitation in recommending Charlie.
Reply from: Charlie: Thanks so much, Treasa. Max deserves a lot of credit for how he applied himself. I was so, so pleased when I found out his result - it just capped off perfectly the very satisfying experience that it was to tutor him. I wish him all the very best for the future!
From Masha (/5): Charlie has been a great fit for both of my daughters, tutoring my 10 year old for 11+ and my 8 year old for Spanish. He is diligent, professional, caring, and always prepared. Strongly recommend! Thank you Charlie!
Reply from: Charlie: Thanks very much, Masha. It's been an absolute delight teaching both of them.
From Jerry (/5): Charlie was a really excellent Spanish A-level tutor for my son. With little time to work with Charlie got to grips with my son's level of knowledge very quickly to make the most of the three months available. Lessons were always focused on the course and the areas my son needed most help with; as a result, my son continually felt he was being stretched and learning useful material. Charlie was always prompt and made himself available for lessons at all possible times. All this, plus the rapport he was able to build with my son, means I recommend Charlie very strongly to anyone looking for a tutor. We have used a few tutors and Charlie is up there with the best.
Reply from: Charlie: Thank you very much, Jerry. It was a great pleasure meeting all of you and working with Kit.
From Shiwen (/5): Charles was very helpful with my English essays
He was helping me to proofread my final year project And personal statement. During the proofreading he gave conductive feedbacks not just for the essay, but also for the general English gramma learning.
He is a patient and knowledgeable person. I can’t thank him enough for all the help that he give me, with he’s help I was able to take my work to a next level. I will definitely recommend him as a tutor!

Reply from: Charlie: Thanks Olga. It was a real pleasure to work with you and your father, and to see him achieve his goals.
From Margaux (/5): I took several lessons with Charlie during 2 months, it was really helpful for me as I didn't have so much confidence. Charlie is able to adapt himself to different kind of students, he followed the subjects I wanted to talk about and through the discussion, gave a lot of advices in vocabulary and grammar.
