English

My experience includes tutoring English to children of all ages and adults, and working on staff in publishing as a writer and editor. As a tutor, I help you improve grammar, reading, and writing. I’m patient, encouraging, and confidence-building. Included: Full support -- and exercises (if desired) -- between lessons. With my methods, students have improved their reading levels in weeks. I also know how to make the writing process much easier because of my own extensive experience writing and tutoring. I enjoy finding how each person learns best and seeing people get comfortable expressing themselves and even begin to enjoy writing.
Painting

Painting

I have been drawing and painting for 30 years and have studied Watercolor, Acrylics, Oil Pastels and Oil Painting with some of the best artists. I am familiar with many teaching methods and have developed my own so that I can guide adults as well as children to learn to paint, or improve their painting, and express themselves in an original way. This is accomplished by building on your inherent strengths. Music provides inspiration to paint for many people, so I supply that for lessons, if, of course, you enjoy music. I relish seeing people start to discover -- or build on -- their own unique approach from the very first lesson.

Genuinely Passionate

Charlotte has been tutoring our 11 year old for the 1.5 months and we can definitely see a huge improvement in his writing skills. Charlotte has been exceptional in working with our son diagnosing his key areas of improvement while suggesting exercises/resources to work specifically on those. Her approach was tailored specifically to his needs and always kept an open communication. Our son has become a more confident and skilled writer. He can now structure his thoughts effectively, create cohesive arguments and write compelling essays. She created a positive learning environment that made him feel comfortable asking questions and seeking clarifications. Her passion for teaching and genuine interest in his progress made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking to improve their essay writing skills

A great ELA tutor

I would highly recommend Charlotte G. as a tutor for ELA. Before she was my tutor, I struggled with poetry. With her help, I can now read and answer questions about poems easily. She is not only a good teacher, but she’s also sweet, kind, respectful, and probably the most flexible teacher I’ve had.

Highly recommend her.

Great Tutor!

Charlotte helped my daughter write an essay to apply to high school. My daughter was very nervous about writing a good enough essay, couldn’t think of a good topic, and finds it challenging to expound on ideas. My daughter was very comfortable working with Charlotte, who helped her relax. That made it easy for her to brainstorm with Charlotte. The end result is an essay that captures my daughter’s experience and personality. With the tutor’s help she was able to flesh out ideas, use colorful synonyms, and write a memorable, well thought out essay. We’ll definitely use her services for her important essays – school applications, scholarships, etc.
