Welcome to my bio! I have over 20 years of experience as a French Immersion classroom teacher and a Special Education Resource Teacher. I have taught and supported students of all abilities through all levels from K-8, and am qualified to teach up to Grade 12.

Subjects I have taught at the Intermediate level include French (Immersion), Geography (Immersion), History (Immersion), Art, Drama, English, Vocal Music, and Spanish (as part of my university practicum).

I am passionate about interacting with students, creating a foundation of mutual trust and respect, learning each individual student’s areas of need, and tapping into his or her strengths in order to work toward academic success and a personal sense of achievement.

My goal is to foster student success by differentiating my lessons based on unique student profiles and learning styles, and by keeping my lessons creative and engaging.

Every student is capable of reaching success. It is my job to teach, to support, to engage, and to inspire your child as we navigate that pathway together.

Sabrina D. B.

Sabrina is beginning her 23rd year as an elementary school educator for the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board. She developed a passion for children from a very young age and knew she wanted to pursue a career in education, leading her to begin volunteering in daycares, schools, and babysitting in her early teen years. Sabrina received a double major degree in French and Italian Language and Linguistics from the University of Toronto and subsequently went into the Faculty of Education at York University. She began teaching right after graduation and embarked upon a versatile professional journey with students of all ages. The majority of her experience is in the elementary classroom in the junior and intermediate divisions, however she is also specialized in early reading strategies and has helped several children bridge the gaps in their literacy skills in the primary grades, summer school sessions, and private tutoring. Additionally, Sabrina acted as an instructional coach for her school board to mentor teachers in their daily teaching practices, with an emphasis on numeracy, literacy, inquiry and technology. Sabrina also has French, Italian, and Religion as teachables for high school, which led her to take on a position for modern languages on Saturdays with Grade 11-12 students. Although this was an enriching experience, her passion remains with guiding younger children along their personal learning endeavors. In her spare time, Sabrina is an advocate for wellness and mental well-being. She embeds this philosophy within her classroom to create a comfortable and safe learning space for her students by incorporating daily mindfulness activities to coach them on how to manage stress and their emotions. Sabrina makes her own well-being a priority by remaining active on a daily basis – through nature hikes, yoga practice, and strength training – and practicing her own mindfulness techniques through prayer, reading, and journaling.
