About Charlie
After completing training for my teaching qualification (PGCE) I have worked as an English/drama teacher at The King’s School Canterbury, Dover Christ Church Academy, and The Folkestone School for Girls. In the latter position, I was a form tutor with pastoral and extracurricular responsibilities where I was involved in assisting in directing several school plays and participating in activities such as school trips.
Aside from the study and teaching of English literature and language, my other passion is acting and drama. In my teens and early 20s, I performed in various Shakespeare plays while at school, and then with the National Youth Music Theatre. I further cultivated my passion for theatre while at The University of Nottingham, where I was an active member of student-led, The New Theatre, winning an acting award whilst there. This inspired me to go to drama school (ArtsEd) in London and work for several years as a professional actor performing in audiobooks, films, and theatre projects.

I have a wide range of experience teaching in different secondary and primary settings, teaching all subjects from KS2 language and literature to A-Level. Most recently I have been specialising in teaching AQA, Edexcel and Edexcel iGCSE literature and language.
I have had experience teaching in different schooling types from private, comprehensive, and grammar, which has given me a breadth of teaching experiences that have helped to teach a wide range of students from different backgrounds and ability levels or complex SEN needs. I have taught from Key Stage 3 – 5 so I am also very familiar with the GCSE and A-Level curriculums, most recently gaining experience in teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) this summer. As such, I am used to having to acquaint myself quickly with new curricula, texts and topics, and exam boards – a useful skill when familiarising myself with the syllabus for new students. My approach invites students to consider a holistic approach to the subject and encourages epistemic insight into why English content and skills are useful or relevant to real-world settings.
Overall, I aim to focus on the individual student and work in collaboration with them regarding their goals and the areas of study that need work. Not every student will like every subject, but there are ways to reach every student and make any subject enjoyable to them once that students feel comfortable communicating how they like to learn and know that they are listened to not simply spoken at. It is through this forming of dialogue that I have found students often feel the comfort and security to make mistakes and explore their interests further.
