German Tutoring with a Qualified Expert German Teacher

“Put simply, Sabina is just amazing. She is well prepared before every lesson and she ensures that everything learnt in a lesson is recapped at the end. She is very thorough and always notes down topics and grammar sections that my son wants to go over in the future. She assists him with his vocabulary learning and she always encourages him to extend this further. Sabina has helped my son with all aspects of his German IGCSE course and recently she has helped him perform highly in his speaking exam by tailoring her teaching to his needs.

She is also very flexible with her lessons and always finds a way to fit in my son’s lessons, especially as he approached the speaking exam, she set aside many lessons just for him! My son has only been having lessons with Sabina for a short amount of time, despite this his confidence has grown, his vocabulary recall has improved and his use and variety of complex structures in his writing has developed. Sabina has taken my son from an A/B (6/7) standard to a high A* (8/9) level. Overall, Sabina is great German teacher and I highly recommend her!”

As a tutor, Sabina has been a great help with Georgia whilst studying for her GCSE in German. She has helped with both vocabulary and speaking, and her confidence has gone from strength to strength since starting with Sabina. Georgia is hoping to continue with A-level, and Sabina’s teaching method has assisted Georgia with this decision. Sabina is punctual and an excellent teacher and I would strongly recommend her.

My daughter, who is home-educated, has been working towards GCSE German with Sabina for about 9 months. She started as an absolute beginner and has made remarkable progress. She looks forward to her lessons, is motivated to do her homework, and is enjoying the subject. Sabina is friendly, professional and well organised, and her teaching has a clear structure, direction and purpose. Altogether ideal, in fact.

I highly recommend the Ideal Teacher Language School. Sabina is a wonderful teacher. She is helping my son with his GCSE German and he has seen huge improvements across all areas even after just one month. In addition to being a subject expert, Sabina is very adept at relating her subject knowledge to the GCSE syllabus, making it clear as to what is required at each level, all the way up to achieving the top grades. Sabina combines thoroughness with patience, kindness and easy to understand explanations which makes her lessons very enjoyable.

Sabina is a great tutor for my daughter, who is studying GCSE German.The lessons are well structured with relevant back up materials. The lessons have focused on developing my daughter in those areas where she is less confident. However, Sabina has also introduced newer aspects of the language that has really enriched my daughter`s understanding. Overall, the lessons are excellently tailored to my daughter`s ability and progress.

Sabina has been teaching my daughter French and German on a weekly basis since February. She is friendly and professional at all times. The transition from face to face lessons to Skype due to COVID-19 was seemless. My daughter is always enthusiastic about, and really enjoys, her lessons and looks forward to them. She really likes Sabina too. Sabina is encouraging and challenging in perfect balance

Sabina is outstanding, patient and incredibly well organised. She has an extremely positive manner – always supportive and accepts that students have ups and downs and that progress depends on hardwork and motivation. My son had found his school lessons to be incomprehensible and had been led to believe that he was incapable or did not have the ability to learn French or German. With Sabina’s help and guidance, he rapidly caught up with the other students – and indeed outperformed students in the top set – whilst in the bottom set. So they transferred him to the top set in both subjects at the beginning of Y11.
He has made enormous strides with Sabina and now he hopes for level 8/9 in both French and German. I would absolutely recommend Sabina for people looking for language support and tuition.

Sabina has tutored my son Henry for his German GCSE and I have seen such a great improvement in his confidence, the fluency of his speaking and his use of grammar when writing. Henry has enjoyed the sessions, found them really useful and has never once complained about attending which is a bonus! We can definitely see real progress from when he started and are looking forward to seeing how he does in his exams this summer. I would absolutely recommend Sabina to anyone looking for a tutor!

Sabina is more than just ‘an ideal teacher.’ She is one of the best teachers I have ever learnt from.
Flawless organisation, endless resources and the patience help me understand both complex and simple concepts…
German was originally a confusing subject I was forced to take, but Sabina has shown me a new side to an amazing language and culture.
Thank you Sabina, for not only for helping me to improve my German tremendously over the last 6 months, but also for inspiring me to work hard!

Sabina is a brilliant Tutor. She taught my son who wasn’t doing so well for his GCSE German. With Sabina’s help, support and encouragement Zach managed to achieve a grade 9 and he was also enjoying German. My daughter has now started lessons with her. She is also finding the sessions beneficial. Would definitely recommend her.

Amazing teacher! dramatically helped me improve my grades, is very professionally and without a doubt always polite . I am so so grateful to have such an amazing teacher. She is always outstanding and there has never been a lesson which I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. Would highly highly recommend.

I highly recommend Sabina. She tutored my daughter for around 5 months. She was predicted a 3 but collected her results today and achieved a 5! Thank you.

I have been studying privately with Sabina for 4 years and took my A level German exam this year. Sabina has been a great teacher! She is very organised and will always take the time to focus on anything I feel I need more help with. Sabina is efficient, kind and supportive, and I look forward to continuing my lessons with her in September.

I absolutely love working with Sabina to help improve my confidence and grade for my German A level. As someone who started the course with a lot of anxiety around the content, Sabina has always been patient with me and is always flexible in changing things around if something isn’t working. In such a short space of time I’ve noticed such an improvement, and I’m amazed at how hard working she is with her well-planned lessons and extra resources she always has to hand to help me. My enjoyment for the subject has grown so much and I feel so much more prepared for my exams. I couldn’t recommend Sabina enough!

Sabina was efficient and helpful in the German tutor sessions leading up to my sons’ year 12 exams. She had a very good range of resources.

Sabina has had a very positive impact on my German A-Level this year and improved my grade significantly. The lessons were tailored specifically to my needs and were very engaging, improving my written and speaking skills. Would definitely recommend!!

Put simply, Sabina is an excellent German teacher. I had lessons with her for my GCSEs and I managed to score a 9 and when I made the decision to continue on with German in the sixth form for Pre-U, I decided to have weekly lessons with Sabina again, to ensure that I am able to attain the highest grade possible next year in my exams.

Sabina is always very accommodating and flexible in lesson timings as well as with taught-content. She always listens to what I feel needs work on and she also picks up on what she thinks will be best for me to focus on. I have done a mixture of listening, reading, writing, speaking and grammar throughout our lessons in order to maintain all aspects of the language at a high standard.

Sabina is always happy to help me with spontaneous questions and she always goes out of her way to help me, for example with my Pre U speaking project; she proof read it and then helped me to correct my own mistakes. I am always learning higher level language phrases and pieces of vocab with Sabina and this has really helped accelerate my German in the classroom. Currently we are preparing for my exam, through tailored exam style practice, it has only been a few lessons and I feel as though my fluency has improved drastically.

I have a lesson with Sabina almost every week, often at different times due to my work schedule, we start our lessons in German. Greeting each other in German and talking about what I have done in the week, e.g. activities, work, going out, eaten etc… This way I’m learning the language by my own life, which I really enjoy. It puts relevance to what I am learning, its not just about saying hello, my name is, I like eating… its about being given the tools to hold a conversation with someone in another language.

Our lessons have taught me to communicate with people, not just talk to people. My biggest weakness is listening comprehension, I need to have someone say the words to me, and hold that conversation in German, as listening to TV, YouTube is not enough for you to have proper social interactions.

What Sabina has done for me is given me the tools needed to understand sentences not just a word here or there, so when our lessons are over I know I have learned something specific and helpful to my language comprehension, which makes me feel good about myself. Sabina takes the time to tailor a lesson to your needs, which is brilliant. For our lessons, I do want to learn the grammar, but I don’t want to drown in it, so she explains how and why sentences are structured in the way they are and what grammar to use. Then lets me use the sentences and grammar I have learned, without overloading my mind. This is very useful as the new information I am taught stays current.

She sets me assignments to do between lessons, this is also very useful as it allows expansion on the lesson gone and a good basis for the next lesson, allowing me to learn quicker.

Most importantly though, if I have a question, if I don’t know what to say, if I can’t understand what I’m being told, I feel comfortable to ask for help, which to me, is very important. I would highly recommend her for any of your language learning needs.

Brilliant tutor, according to my 70 year old mother who has been taking lessons for a while with Sabina now.

Sabina has been an outstanding teacher. Every minute counts in her lessons and I feel I have grown in confidence. She is patient and skilful and knows exactly how to tailor her lessons to the student’s needs. She is also very funny and we had such a great time – the lessons flew by! I can’t wait to get more lessons with her – in only a few weeks my German improved so much! Danke Sabina

Lessons are always well structured and Sabina is so patient!
