Originally from Pensacola, FL, I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Pensacola High School. I am a recipient of the Mark Pinnell Memorial Scholarship for excellence in English and a foreign language (French). I completed my Bachelor's degree at Vassar College where I double-majored in French and Francophone Studies and Drama. I minored in Art History. I went on to complete my first Master's degree at Dartmouth College where I received a Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies, analyzing the entertainment industry from historical, business, legal, and creative perspectives. I love learning and like to make it fun for those that I am teaching! I have tutored French and have taught swim lessons since I was a collegiate champion on the All-Seven Sisters Team at Vassar.

I have spoken French since the age of 5 and was educated in French grammar and culture for over 17 years. I have won two scholarships due to excellence in French and am a member of the French National Honor Society. French and Francophone Studies was one of my majors at Vassar College.

I have won a scholarship for excellence in English and have always received high marks in English courses. I had the highest grade in my high school's graduating International Baccalaureate class for my Extended Essay. I am a native speaker and also write professionally as both a songwriter and a screenwriter. I have also worked for literary magazines at the high school and graduate school level and have experience proofreading for grammar and spelling. I have always been an impeccable speller.

In addition to my academic pursuits I am a creative working in the acting and music fields! I love to connect with people and help make learning easier, more engaging, and more fun.

Works well with my high school student

Charley's approach to studying for ACT English and Reading works very well for my daughter. My daughter is learning, and gaining knowledge, but does not feel overwhelmed by the material.

Wonderful tutor

We loved Charley's lesson with our niece Chloe. Charley was so interesting, knowledgeable and thorough, but also very personable and patient. The depth of her background is quite evident in her easy acuity and insights, in this case with Steinbeck. Chloe really liked her. Highly recommend Charley.
