I believe the answer is:

educator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'teacher' is the definition.
(someone who educates)

'out moving letters about charlie' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'ca' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'ca' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'out' is 'uto' which is located in the left over letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'read' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for educator that I've seen before include "Pedagogue, teacher" , "coach" , "mistress, say" , "master, say" , "Trainer, teacher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
