Hi, my name's Jonny! I'm a CELTA qualified English teacher who has been teaching both online and face-to-face for over 5 years.
Classes I offer:
- Custom classes
- IELTS exam preparation (general and academic)
- Cambridge First B2 (FCE) exam preparation
- Conversation Classes
At the end of the lesson I provide my students with a personalised PDF containing all the notes from their lesson. More detailed information is available under the 'My lessons & teaching style tab'.
I'm originally from the Southwest of England but currently live near Granada in Spain. I enjoy studying languages, reading📕, and playing the accordion🪗.
Me as a Teacher
I like to provide fun and entertaining lessons which are customised for each student. I combine my own materials with textbooks and other sources to keep students engaged. As a language learner myself I'm very aware of the challenges facing my students and always keep that in mind.
Since completing my CELTA certificate 4 years ago I have been tutoring teenage and adult students in Spain. I've helped Spanish high school students pass their high school degree and prepared adult learners to achieve qualifications in English for work and study purposes, such as IELTS and Cambridge exams.

I really enjoy your new custom lessons about article reading and discussion about topics related to the chosen articles. It's an extremely helpful way of practising summary skills and learning new vocabulary! I like the way how you explain new words as well. You don't just explain the meaning, you also provide scenarios to make them memorable. Thank you Jonny!

A lesson with Jonny is always entertaining and informative. It’s nice to feel comfortable speaking about any topic, from tourism to pests. I look forward to seeing what topics we will discuss in future lessons.
