About Me
italki teacher since Nov 18, 2021
* My availabilities have changed due to academic commitments. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions! *
Mon nom est Joséphine ! Je viens de Montréal et je suis une étudiante doctorale dans une université en Angleterre. 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).
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 !
☑️ 1 year+ of experience in teaching French online
☑️ 4 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. For this reason, my goal as your tutor is to create a safe learning space where you can be yourself and make mistakes. I want to contribute to your progress and make your French learning journey fun! 🎉
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! 💬

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.

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!

Very good lesson again with Joséphine! She developed some activities to use during the lesson and sent me the notes after class. She is very thorough, professional, and a clear speaker.

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!

Joséphine is very easy to talk to. Learning and speaking a new language can feel very intimidating, but her demeanor is such that she made me feel super comfortable and excited to get started with French! She is also flexible with customizing goals and plans for lessons, which is exactly what I needed. I need to learn French for both professional use and personal/casual conversation and she was very understanding about my goals. Can't wait for the next lesson!
