Michael Griggs

I am a native Cambridge CELTA qualified teacher of English as a foreign language from the United Kingdom. I have a clear, neutral British English accent, and I consider myself very friendly, reliable, enthusiastic and professional, with a good sense of humour. My style of teaching is definitely communicative!

Discussion-based online lessons, supported by a wide variety of post-lesson exercises and activities, according to the needs of the student. These materials could include (but are not limited to):

• podcast links
• TED Talks
• vocabulary exercises
• exam practice exercises
• error correction activities.

I've been teaching English as a foreign language for nine years, and I've taught adult professionals, university students and teenagers. I have worked for private language schools and as a freelance teacher (in-company Business English lessons). I recently taught in Poland for the first time.

I'm from the United Kingdom, and I have a wide range of interests, such as sport, comedy, music, cinema, history, travel and cooking, among others. Prior to my career as an English teacher, I was a professional sports coach for many years, working in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
