About Me
italki teacher since Aug 14, 2017
InterestsReadingFilms & TV SeriesPets & Animals
I am very open-minded and don't mind discussing any topic. I have 3 adult children (twins and a singleton), a granddaughter, and another grandchild on the way. All my children's friends treat me as one of their peers, so although I am 52 years old I am very 'modern'.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching languages since the age of 19 and have a lot of experience dealing with different types of people. I do have a lot of material prepared and I make it available to my students via email, Skype and WhatsApp. I am very organized, but the three decades of teaching experience allows me to 'go with the flow' if needs be.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style varies a lot dependng on the requirements of the students. I aim to make the lessons as relevant as possible to the students, but I refuse to forego grammar and correct speech.

Good class Sabrina. She was patient and understanding, and she went slowly so I can understand as much as possible. merci.

I am not sure I can judge Sabrina's method from one lesson, this was mainly a conversation, something I was looking to do.
