Hello, I am Charles, I am from Newmarket, Suffolk which is just outside of Cambridge in England.
When I was 10 my family moved from England to Paris because of my dad's work, so I spent 2 years attending a private international school in Paris and I still speak French today. I then returned to England and continued my British education.
After college I went into the recruitment industry in Cambridge where I worked for 7 years eventually being a manager.
I decided to take 6 months off to travel, so I travelled around South East Asia and China, I felt after this I wasn't ready to return to the UK, so I completed the 150 hour advanced TEFL qualification and began teaching in Shanghai, where I lived for 2 years.
In Shanghai I was working at a school in the affluent district of Minhang. I was teaching English, Maths and Science to students aged 5 - 12 years old. The majority of my students attended the local international schools and were quite advanced for their ages in English, maths and science. I really enjoyed working with these students and learnt so much as a teacher.
When I returned to England in 2017 I started my own recruitment business which I was the sole director of for 7 years, at it's peak turning over £2 million per year and having 80 employees on some of the UK's flagship construction and engineering projects.
My daughter, Vera, was born in London and is now 3, she speaks fluent English and Russian, we also want her to learn French and Chinese. Me and my wife (Russian) decided to move to Russia to her hometown in the Altai region in early 2025.
Since arriving in Russia I have been teaching local people in my town face to face English classes, adults, children and also teenagers preparing for their university entrance exams.
I am comfortable teaching all levels of students from beginners to advanced and everything in between.
I also have the IGCSE English teaching certificate.
