About

TheIdealTeacher.comJe me prรฉsente!

Hi! I’m Sabina – an insanely passionate, qualified French and German teacher and tutor, as well as an experienced EFL teacher. I have over 14 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. I LOVE TEACHING LANGUAGES AND SEEING MY STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IMPROVE!

Check out The Ideal Teacher Language School on YouTube where you’ll find some of my teaching resources and ideas. Subscribe to stay up-to-date with the latest content!

How do I help my language students and tutees?

* assess their current strengths and weaknesses and personalise each lesson to their needs
* develop students’ confidence from the first lesson
* improve exam skills
* develop communication skills (speaking, listening & translation)
* build vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a simple way
* … and whatever else they want to work on!

Who do I teach?

* Beginner to advanced EFL and ESL students
* Business English students
* KS3, GCSE and A-Level French students
* KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German
* French and German for home-educated students
* Distance learning French & German language learners
* Beginner French and German students looking to make fast progress

Which qualifications do I help with?

* French GCSE & French iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* German GCSE & German iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* A-Level German (AQA & WJEC) / Pre-U German
* CEFR Levels A1-C2

As well as teaching languages, I love creating French and German KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level resources and sharing teaching ideas to save other MFL and language teachers time.

p.s. 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 with the sole aim of improving my students’ languageย  learning with traditional and innovative teaching methods to promote progress and improve confidence quickly.
