About

TheIdealTeacher.comJe me présente!

Hi! I’m Sabina – an insanely passionate, qualified French and German teacher and tutor, as well as an experienced EFL teacher. I have over 11 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. I LOVE TEACHING LANGUAGES AND SEEING MY STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IMPROVE!

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, and GCSE French students
* KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German
* Home-educated students learning French & German
* 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’ language  acquisition with innovative teaching methods to promote progress and improve confidence quickly.

J'ai 36 ans. J'ai eu ma première dose de vaccin Covid hier, et une date de RDV pour la 2e. Pourquoi, alors que je n’ai pas de souci de santé? J'habite au Chili où je suis considérée comme profession prioritaire. Devinez quel métier j'exerce? Je... suis... prof. 🍓⤵️ 1/11
