Alastair Grant
Teacher Training

Elbow Greeting

Lead the way. 

You are an incredibly inspiring teacher.

Every session I was left with this feeling that I wanted my teaching to be a little bit more like yours.

Rita

I am an English language teacher, teacher trainer, academic director, ELT author and public speaker, and I am passionately committed to the role that teacher development plays in advancing teaching and learning.​

 

I offer teacher training to schools, institutes and universities on a wide variety of topics ranging from the in-class application of Second Language Acquisition theories to comprehensive and cohesive classroom management.

 

I offer training in Cambridge teacher development qualifications, such as the Cambridge Delta 1.

 

My workshops and presentations are designed to deliver practical advice and activities to teachers and coordinators, that can be used in the classroom immediately.
