Weekly Teaching & LCC Clinic – Live Q&A with Barnaby Griffiths
A weekly open professional Clinic where language teachers at any stage can ask practical questions about teaching, classroom practice, methodology and speaking development – guided by over 20 years’ experience as a TESOL Diploma tutor, with insights from Language & Communication Coaching. Small group. Practical focus. Limited places.
This is a weekly live professional Clinic for language teachers who would like to discuss real classroom questions with an experienced teacher trainer and mentor.
You are welcome to bring:
-
questions about classroom management
-
speaking and fluency development
-
feedback and correction
-
group dynamics
-
methodology and lesson design
-
confidence and performance issues
-
or any practical problem from your own teaching
The session is conversational, practical and focused on helping you think clearly about what is happening in your classroom and what to try next.
Alongside mainstream TEFL methodology, the clinic also introduces insights from Language & Communication Coaching (LCC) – a performance‑oriented approach to speaking development and communicative impact.
Who is this for?
This Clinic is open to:
-
new teachers
-
experienced teachers
-
teacher trainers
-
coaches and mentors
No preparation is required.
You do not need to know anything about LCC in advance.
You simply bring your questions, situations or doubts from your own teaching practice.
What teachers and trainers say
“Working with Barney as my tutor during the Trinity DipTESOL diploma was genuinely transformative. His feedback throughout the course was invaluable, but what truly made a difference was seeing how it played out in real classrooms the following year. I had the chance to put his guidance into practice across a range of contexts - whether I was teaching adults, young learners, or teenagers - and his insights into how to approach error correction and tackle pronunciation issues were especially impactful.
Applying his suggestions elevated my teaching to a completely new level. Now that I’m working as a CELTA teacher trainer, I realise just how significant his influence has been. The clarity with which he explained ideas, the technical knowledge he shared, and the practical insights he offered are all things I still draw on today when talking to trainees. His feedback didn’t just make me a better teacher - it helped shape the way I train new teachers, and I continue to reference his approach when giving feedback on their teaching.
Barney’s guidance has had a lasting impact on my professional growth, and I’m deeply grateful for it.”
