About Charmaine
I am a UK-qualified English teacher with over 25 years of international classroom experience spanning the UK, Europe, and South Africa. My specialisation is the Cambridge International curriculum — I understand not just what the syllabus contains, but how Cambridge examiners think, what mark schemes reward, and exactly where South African students typically lose marks.
Having worked across multiple educational systems, I bring something rare to the international tutoring landscape: a deep understanding of the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level frameworks combined with 25 years of hands-on classroom experience across the UK, Europe, and beyond.
My approach is always diagnostic first — I identify your child's precise gaps, then build a targeted programme around their syllabus, their exam board, and their timeline.
What I Offer
Every student is different. Every programme is too. All sessions are one-to-one, conducted online via Zoom — available to students anywhere in the world.
How It Works
What People Say
Charmaine consistently demonstrates professionalism, adaptability, and strong instructional expertise. Her lessons are thoughtfully planned, engaging, and scaffolded — each learner progresses with genuine confidence.
A particular strength is her ability to adapt for different learners. She uses varied resources and differentiated activities to support comprehension and critical thinking, fostering a positive learning environment even online.
Charmaine has a warm and approachable manner which allows her to build trust easily with students. She is patient, attentive, and supportive, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment. She supported me in overcoming my English pronunciation challenges as a francophone speaker, helping me gain confidence and improve my spoken communication.
Madame Albers has taught our children since 2020 — first in Johannesburg, and now online from France. We love her warm, encouraging approach and her skill in building vocabulary, grammar, and correct pronunciation. We recommend her without hesitation.
Book a Session
The consultation is a no-obligation conversation where I find out about your child's syllabus, exam board, current level, and goals. From there I can tell you exactly how I can help and what a programme would look like.
Sessions are available online via Zoom — I work with students across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. I keep my student numbers small to ensure genuinely personalised attention.
