Mon nom est Joséphine ! Je viens de Montréal et je suis une étudiante doctorale. J'adore coudre 🪡, m'entraîner 🏋️♀️, faire du yoga 🧘♀️, prendre des photos 📸 et m'occuper de mes plantes 🌿.
Le français est ma langue maternelle et j'ai commencé à apprendre l'anglais lorsque j'avais 8 ans. Dans le cadre de mes études universitaires, j'ai fait un échange étudiant à San Diego ainsi qu'un autre à Shanghai ce qui m'a permis de peaufiner mon anglais et d'être exposée au chinois (mandarin).
I want to contribute to your progress and make your French learning journey fun! 🎉
Me as a Teacher
Je suis une tutrice qui ne juge pas et qui a pour objectif de vous mettre à l'aise lors de nos séances. Je suis facile d'approche et attentive. Faire preuve de patience et de compassion est une règle d'or pour moi !
☑️ 3 years+ of experience in teaching French online to non-native speakers as well as native speakers (high school students)
☑️ 6 years+ of volunteer experience in professional mentoring for non-native French speakers and revision of professional documents in French
I know that learning a new language can be daunting and a little bit overwhelming. My goal as your tutor is to create a safe learning space where you can be yourself, make mistakes, and make progress!
My lessons & teaching style
Lors de notre première rencontre, je vous inviterai à vous présenter afin de mieux vous connaître et d'évaluer votre niveau. Je vous demanderai me faire part de vos intérêts et de vos objectifs afin que j'ajuste mes méthodes pédagogiques pour qu'elles correspondent à vos attentes. Je vous proposerai ensuite un plan de cours qui guidera nos séances futures !
Our classes will be centered on conversation. However, I will use a wide variety of learning tools and visual supports to help you learn and memorize content. I have a flexible teaching approach! Therefore, if you would like to focus on specific topics or address certain aspects of the French language, please feel free to let me know! 💬

Joséphine is always so patient and helps me formulate my sentences when I struggle. She is hands down the best tutor I’ve had on italki. She is easy going, makes you feel emotionally safe to make mistakes, creates just enough structure without completely dictating the lesson, and is knowledgeable about the grammar rules. I always look forward to my classes and I’m thankful she challenges me to improve!

This was my fifth session with Josephine. I can't recommend her enough as a tutor - she's very polite, organized, and helpful. Her teaching structure is very intuitive , and she creates a fun worry-free space to practice and hone your speaking skills. Elle est super! Cinq étoiles!

I can pass TCF Canada l'espression orale for 2 reasons. One is my hard work, the other is the lessons with Joséphine. She is the best professor I have ever met on italki. I have 5 and 6 packages purchased with Joséphine. I enjoyed every time every lesson. She helped me increase crazily my fluid in French, correct every orale mistake I made, and record it in Google Docs. I love this way ! To be honest, I don't think there is another better professor on iltalk.
Merci beaucoup Joséphine !!

Josephine creates a very friendly and supportive learning space. She is a natural conversationalist which is most helpful when speaking in a language you might not be comfortable with yet. And she takes very detailed notes for each lesson. Merci Beaucoup Josephine.

Joséphine is a great teacher who is patient and attentive. She allows and encourages me to fully express and build upon my opinions in French which is great practice for oral exams and interview type questions. She shows interest in the topics of my choice and has a natural ability to keep the conversation going and stimulating. Beyond this, she provides notes after her lessons without interrupting during the class which I find valuable for improving my flow of thoughts in French. A highly recommended teacher for improving oral French !
