Charles

I bring together a strong academic background, professional acting training, and years of experience as both a tutor and nanny to deliver lessons that are engaging, tailored, and genuinely effective.

Having been educated at Blundell`s School in Devon, I understand the culture and expectations of independent schools from the inside — and I know exactly what it takes to prepare children to thrive in that environment.

My 11+ tuition covers verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English, and mathematics, with a focus on building both the skills and the confidence children need to perform under pressure on exam day.

Alongside academic tutoring, I offer specialist LAMDA coaching, helping students develop their speaking, listening, and communication skills through structured and enjoyable lessons.

Whether a child is working towards a LAMDA examination or simply looking to grow in confidence and self-expression, I adapt my approach to suit their goals and personality.

I use creativity and intuition to understand how each child learns best, tailoring every session so they feel supported, motivated, and capable.

My style is patient, resilient, and warm — I meet every child where they are and help them move forward at a pace that works for them.

Please do feel free to message me with any questions — I`d love to help.
