Jack has been teaching for the last 16 years, privately and in colleges around London. As well as private tuition, Jack went on to become the head of guitar at The London Music School and began teaching at The Brit School in 2023.

Alongside teaching, Jack is actively gigging as a session musician, the primary song-writer in his own band Sad Clown and works regularly in production teams that have had tracks featured on the BBC and on ITV.
