About Me
italki teacher since Mar 22, 2019InterestsAnimation & ComicsSports & FitnessMusicHistoryTravel
Hey, I’m Jonny from Brighton, England, TEFL-certified and keen,
With 14+ years helping adults make their English shine and glean.
By day I guide students to smash their language goals,
By night I spin lofi beats and rock ACDC rolls.
www.mrsilkyslofibeats.com - by the way I'm fun!!
My lessons groove like a playlist that’s lively and true,
Dynamic, fun, and full of real-world chat for you.
Think punk energy with laid-back lofi flow,
Sports, history, travel—whatever you want to know.
Currently in the motherland, I’ve taught from China to Slovakia,
Turning English into your rhythm—now that’s pure magic!
https://linktr.ee/JonnyTeacherMe as a Teacher
I hold a 120-hour TEFL certificate and have over twelve years of teaching experience, including five years on Italki. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching children and adults in China, Spain, Slovakia, and Italy.
My lessons cover grammar, pronunciation, and conversation, for groups ranging from two to thirty students, as well as one-on-one sessions.
I became a teacher fourteen years ago, seeking work that was more meaningful and rewarding. Before that, I traveled the world working in pubs and clubs, but found it unfulfilling.
Teaching has provided the challenge I craved and the opportunity to help students achieve their language goals, making every lesson purposeful and engaging. My lessons & teaching style
I am a patient, dedicated, and enthusiastic teacher, fully committed to helping you reach and surpass your language goals. Every lesson I design is tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that learning English is not just effective, but also enjoyable, inspiring, and engaging.
In my group classes, I foster a supportive and interactive environment where every student feels heard, encouraged, and motivated. I blend structured practice with dynamic, real-world conversation, so you develop confidence while exploring topics that genuinely interest you.
Whether it’s grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, or fluency, my approach ensures that you progress steadily while having fun.My teaching material
