Iâm a native French speaker and Doctor of Pharmacy. My parents migrated to France, so navigating between languages and cultures has always been part of my life.
Iâve been an au pair, an Erasmus student, worked abroad, and I share my life with someone who isnât French. In each country, my language level was different, sometimes I started from zero (yes, the âsmile and nodâ phase), sometimes I was more advanced.
I know what it feels like to hesitate, to translate in your head, to wonder if what youâre saying sounds ârightâ.
Me as a Teacher
Some of my students are expatriates building a life in France. Others prepare for the TCF, study at university, or learn for heritage or personal growth.
Youâre never âjust another studentâ. I care about who you are and what your goal is so I can adjust as you evolve.
And if between lessons you struggle with a sentence, pronunciation, or something we studied, you can message me. Iâm genuinely invested in your progress, not just the scheduled hours we spend together.
My lessons & teaching style
You wonât get a messy Google Doc filled with random new words after a bit of small talk about the weather or your favorite color.
I guide the discussion, organise the progression, and make sure every session has clear direction.
At the same time, the atmosphere stays relaxed. We laugh and talk about things that actually matter, not artificial scenarios youâll never use in real life.
My goal isnât just to âcover materialâ but to help you understand how French really works while learning about the culture behind it.
Josseline puts a lot of effort into creating interesting, fun, and rigorous classes - no cookie-cutter experience here. Time flies by while we work on oral and written skills guided by well-designed lesson plans and varied media supports. I especially appreciate learning how I can rephrase my ideas with more natural or advanced expressions - this is an essential approach to attain greater fluency.
Josseline is incredibly well prepared and personable. It is easy to tell she puts in a tremendous amount of effort into creating lesson plans that are both substantive and also tailored to my interests. Furthermore, Josseline gives me valuable feedback after each lesson. Lessons are fun and engaging, and I feel concrete progress each lesson.
