Hi, I’m Jack Pawlica. I’m a guitarist and music teacher based in Folkestone.
With 23 years of guitar-playing experience, I bring a practical, encouraging approach to lessons — helping students develop their skills while enjoying the music that inspires them.
I'm a fully qualified music teacher with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and 17 years of teaching experience across schools in South East Kent. I've worked with students in Years 6–13 and hold an Enhanced DBS check.
I'm also a BIMM graduate with GCSE and Level 3 music qualifications, bringing both classroom teaching expertise and practical musical experience to every lesson.
Outside teaching, I'm a lead guitarist, songwriter and backing vocalist with The King Rooks, and I've contributed session guitar to recordings by other artists.
