Je me présente!

Hi! I’m Sabina – an insanely passionate, qualified ESOL teacher and a secondary French and German teacher and tutor. I have over 11 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. I LOVE TEACHING.

I have realised doing the same thing every day bores me, but I do like to keep myself busy. So these days I fill my time with many teaching related activities. I’m…

* an ESOL teacher at a local college
* an online Business English trainer
* a private ESOL tutor
* a private KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level and conversational French tutor
* a private KS2, KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German tutor
* a home school language tutor
* a distance learning language tutor
* a language resource developer to reduce teacher preparation time

I would just like to clarify that ‘TheIdealTeacher’ is simply the website’s name and it’s what I aspire to be and what I am working towards. I am an enthusiastic modern languages teacher who stands by the philosophy of: teach・reflect・discuss・learn・create・repeat with the aim of improving my students’ language acquisition.

This website is a space to share my own French and German KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level resources, as well as my language-related teaching ideas to save other MFL and language teachers time.

Have you joined my mailing list? If not, go to the ‘Sign Up’ page and join to stay up-to-date with the latest content, ideas and resources. Make sure you are following me on my socials too for more teacher related things to make you smile.

– Sabina

I've put together a list of different ways to express likes and dislikes in French - hopefully this will not only help students' expression but also make the language more interesting to them as well!
