Hi, I’m Zoe

The founder of Charles Education. With 24 years of teaching experience and a background as a qualified examiner, I help students master GCSE skills that are essential for success in English Language and Literature. As an expert teacher and tutor, I use my knowledge to guide students clearly and confidently through their GCSE journey.

What sets my teaching apart is more than subject expertise.

I focus on building self-belief, creating a calm and supportive learning environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn without fear. My lessons are designed to meet each learner where they are, whether they’re aiming for a secure pass or pushing for a top grade.

Learning with me means clear structure, expert feedback and support that goes beyond the classroom. Students feel more confident, more calm and more in control of their progress.

My journey started in the classroom, where I discovered a deep love for helping students grow in confidence and understanding. That journey eventually led me to tutoring, where I can offer more tailored guidance and support.
