Charles Palmer

Hi, I'm Charles Palmer. Thanks for checking out my course.I am a self-published author of two collections of dark fairy tales and five other books in the genre. I have been involved in education all my adult life so I'm very happy to be an instructor on Udemy. This is what guides me as an educationalist.The best interest of students always comes first.This straightforward principle has guided me from the moment I first stepped into a classroom as a young English and History teacher in a large girls’ secondary school in south London, through promotion to head of department, head of faculty, assistant head teacher, and CEO of Clarity, the education company I founded.Clarity Education worked with gifted, talented and able students in more than forty London schools and provided consultancy services to raise educational achievement.I refer to this principle whenever I am confronted by an educational dilemma or a clash of interests. It drives me to strive for quality in all that I do within education.To return to my writing. I was brought up in Edinburgh and my family is from the Scottish Highlands. One day, I returned home from school and my grandmother asked me about my day. I told her we were learning about very bad people called the Vikings. My grandmother was not pleased with my description. For the first time in my life, two authority figures were saying things that contradicted each other.Perhaps this is the reason that, many years later, at the School of Scottish Studies in the University of Edinburgh, I wrote my dissertation on The Impact of the Viking Invasion of Orkney in the 10th Century for my Masters degree. I wanted to resolve the contradiction. One way or another it ignited my passion for the fantasy genre and I am currently working on an epic fantasy trilogy.I'm really looking forward to helping you on your writing journey. I’m totally committed to supporting you. Don't hesitate to get in [email protected]
