Charles Holroyd

CEO & Founder

Hello! I'm Charles, a commercial pilot for a major UK airline with a passion for teaching. I launched the ATPL Tutoring Group to provide a friendly network for students to reach out whilst linking the bridge between training and the commercial aviation world. We have all been there and I believe it is a transition that can be assisted and supported more.

With several years of aviation experience, I try to bring a unique perspective to the world of tutoring. My journey as a tutor began even before my aviation career, and I've had the pleasure of helping many students achieve their academic goals.

I believe that learning should be an enjoyable and positive experience. My teaching method focuses on simplicity and clarity, breaking down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps, ensuring students grasp the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics. My goal is to make learning feel accessible and fun, fostering a supportive environment where students feel confident to ask questions and express their ideas.
