About Me
italki teacher since Feb 24, 2022
Hello everyone!
I'm an avid world traveler✈️🌎 and learning other languages is the greatest passion🔥 I have in my life. I am a certified📜 and experienced teacher (I hold a degree in education and a TEFL certificate).
I have more than four years of professional experience in language teaching, and even more, if I would have to take all my informal expertise into account.
In my spare time, I like to do volunteer work, read books, and do sports.
I would describe myself as a curious, open-minded, and bubbly person who likes to learn new things. I often hear that my enthusiasm is infectious, a quality I like to use when conducting my lessons :).
Me as a Teacher
I've always had an interest in other languages and cultures, so I decided to turn my passion into my profession.
Having lived in four different countries, I can attest that speaking the country's language is the first step to successful integration. I also know how hard it is to get to a certain level and maintain that level.
I have taught on a voluntary and professional basis and to different levels and target groups. I am a capable and certified teacher and have several certificates, including a Master's degree in translation and a TEFL certificate.
My lessons & teaching style
I use the communicative approach in the classroom, which is based on the idea that successful language learning comes from communicating real meaning. The lesson will be highly student-centered and based on students’ interests. It will also be very interactive and fun, and is mainly designed to give you the confidence to speak.
Practice makes perfect, so in addition to personalized learning, you can also expect homework assignments, extra materials, quizlets, voice recordings, and so on.
Book your trial lesson with me:
if you want to improve your language with an energetic teacher
if you want to have personalized and student-centered classes
if you would like to make rapid progress.

Josephina takes time to review you on past lessons which makes for very effective learning and memory recall. She makes sure to provide varied ways of teaching and lets you have an active part in process by giving time and hints as necessary when asking questions. Her professional skills are amazing.

Today was my first lesson with Josephina and it was a very good lesson. Josephina was very organised, and made learning easy. I am looking forward to continuing my lessons to learn more Dutch.

Ik vind de lessen van Josephina erg leuk! She prepares all kinds of materials to use in the lessons, which is motivating and fun. She makes the learning path clear and easy to follow. There is enough challenge and questions in the classes to help you learn more in each session. Dank je wel, Josephina!

Josephina is an excellent teacher. She makes sure to prepare the materials for the lesson, which makes it smooth sailing throughout the class. I am confidently building my vocabulary because of her efforts. She explains words, gives a similar word in English to help you remember. It's a nice trick.
