Crossword Genius

Compere to grill teacher (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toastmaster

'compere' is the definition.
(I know that toastmaster is a type of compere)

'grill teacher' is the wordplay.
'grill' becomes 'toast' (I've seen this before).
'teacher' becomes 'master' (I've seen this before).
'toast'+'master'='TOASTMASTER'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toastmaster that I've seen before include "Emcee at a banquet" , "one announces at dinner" , "One proposing" , "Dinner speaker" , "Organizer of tributes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
