Our Story

The journey of Chariansim from vision to reality

UK Map with Location Markers

Founded on a Vision of Global Connection

Established in 2008, Chariansim began with a simple yet powerful mission: to break down language barriers and build bridges between cultures. Our founder, Dr. Elizabeth Hartman, a linguist with over 20 years of experience in language education, recognized the growing need for high-quality, culturally sensitive language instruction in the UK.

From London to Nationwide

Starting with a single location in central London, Chariansim quickly gained recognition for its innovative teaching methods and exceptional student outcomes. Within five years, we expanded to Manchester and Edinburgh, bringing our unique approach to language education to students across the UK.

Today's Chariansim

Now with centers in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham, and Cardiff, we serve thousands of students annually through both in-person and online courses. Our curriculum has expanded to cover over 15 languages, and our team of 150+ native-speaking instructors represents the diversity of our global community.

Looking Forward

As we continue to grow, our commitment to excellence in language education remains unwavering. We constantly evolve our teaching methodologies, embrace new technologies, and expand our course offerings to meet the changing needs of our students and the demands of an increasingly interconnected world.
