Testimonials
"I worked with Josephine in the hopes to reignite my passion for the French language after 3 years of high school French class and my own travels to French speaking countries had drifted a little farther from my memory than I would have liked. I was enthralled by the information and examples she used in our lessons and her casual approach to teaching one of the most confusing languages. She made French feel accessible all the way from Southern California. The best part about our lessons together is how I could express my need for the class to be shaped a certain way -as I am still learning how to take in information better (as we all are, I'm sure)- and she would tailor each session to that request. She is highly educated, extremely capable, and helped me accomplish my goal and reignite that flame that I had thought was all too ready to become another ash of my forgotten memories." — Timothy, French lessons
"One of the biggest things that get me through Monday's is knowing that after work I have my French lesson with Josephine! She works so hard to personalize each lesson to my skill level and the areas in the written and spoken language that I need help in. Besides teaching the language, Josephine helps me learn about current French culture and inspires me to continue to learn! Merci beaucoup, Josephine!" — Gabrielle, French lessons
"My daughter loves her French lessons taught by Josephine. She finds them fun and interesting. Josephine is very patient and very good with kids." — Anca, French lessons
Josephine is an excellent teacher! She tailors her lessons to your
goals and your level. She also is very encouraging which made me feel
safe to try even if I was wrong. Her lessons are very organized, and
she's very knowledgeable about the French language. Highly recommend! — Martha, French lessons
