Charlotte J.
K-12 Curriculum Designer & Educational Consultant
I help international schools, educational organisations and EdTech companies transform academic content into practical, engaging learning experiences. With 8+ years of experience, I specialise in creating interactive workbooks, teacher guides, curriculum frameworks and educational products that move beyond textbooks and bring learning to life. My work combines educational expertise with real-world application, ensuring learners actively participate rather than passively consume information. As the founder of Not in the Textbooks, my online academy, I have collectively delivered over 3,500 online and in-person lessons whilst designing learning materials that build communication skills and real-world understanding. I love to use the learning objectives to create engaging and memorable classes and educational materials. Before founding my academy, I taught internationally in China from Kindergarten to S2 (Grade 8), giving me a strong understanding of child development, learner engagement and age-appropriate instruction. I regularly collaborate with schools, educational organisations and publishers to create meaningful learning experiences that are both engaging for learners and practical for educators.
