About Me
italki teacher since Feb 7, 2017InterestsTravelWritingReadingEnvironment & Nature
Hi! I'm Sabine, a native French speaker currently living in Portugal. Fifteen years ago, I started to teach French to asylum seekers as a volunteer and loved it so much that I continued teaching professionally while traveling. I have worked in language schools such as the famous Alliance Française (Melbourne and Lisbon) but also as a secondary teacher in French Guiana. I currently teach part-time on Italki. In parallel, I'm a PhD student conducting an investigation in Sociology of Literature and I'm also following a course of specialization in bibliotherapy. So you can see how much I love literary fiction!Me as a Teacher
By taking a course with me, you will be provided with a friendly and caring environment as I’m always attentive to my student’s needs. I have developed my own material suitable for private online lessons from beginner to advanced level. You will have access to PDF lessons with grammar and vocabulary reminders and exercises so that you can study by yourself at home in addition to our one-on-one lesson.My lessons & teaching style
I have built my lessons around the four core linguistic skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Our lessons will generally start with a document, for example, a text to study grammar and keep small talk going. For beginners, the lessons will be focused primarily around everyday life topics. For high level students, the class tends to focus on literature, popular culture and human sciences due to my background in Social Policy and International development. To have an immersive experience during your class, French is the only language spoken. However, if you have difficulties, I can provide explanations in English or Portuguese.My teaching material

She’s amazing. Format of our conversation lesson gives me access to current thought and events in France and updates my vocabulary. Sabine keeps track of my mistakes, offers an opportunity to correct them and comprehend grammatical rules at the end of the lesson. Homework is comprehensive and appropriately challenging. I’m making some progress!
