Me as a Teacher
Je suis diplômé depuis 2013 et j'ai décidé de passer (et d'obtenir) un Master de didactique du Français Langue Étrangère en 2021.
En Chine, j'ai fait de mon mieux pour aider les étudiants à se préparer à leur entretien CELA (entretien Campus France) pour venir étudier en France.
*
I have obtained my teaching French as a 2nd language certificate in 2013 and a Master's Degree in Teaching French as a Second Language in 2021.
In China, I tried my best to help students prepare for their CELA interview (Campus France interview), the one they have to pass in order to go study in France, and it's always a moment of pride when they tell me they DID IT!
My lessons & teaching style
I really love French, and I can say I master the 50 shades of French. I can teach you anything from high-end technical jargon to the nicest street language and slang.
I believe learning a new language is not at all different from upgrading to a better version of yourself. I see teaching French as a form of coaching and so I insist on mastering the basics before moving on, just like a musician practicing scales. It's not about quantity, it's about quality.
Learning French is far from impossible but you have to have a clear PURPOSE. That's the ONLY prerequisite.
Of course, we can (we should) do all that by having fun. If you have watched my video, you have an idea of my definition of fun!

A lesson w Josselin left me smiling for hours… he is kind and funny and intelligent and will really adapt to your needs, be they grammar forms or French dating advice. Quelle joie de discuter avec lui. I learned and I laughed and I will be back for more. I recommend him highly and without reservation!!

Merci. I was discouraged for many years because of the bad way French was taught at my university. With Josselin I finally see improvement in my French. I mean it. Seriously!

Such a fantastic learning experience with this fantasticd teacher 老法!He always responds with a smile on the face and let me felt very relaxed and encouraged, which is so important in a language class. Also, he shows his respect to my learning needs and routine, and adapting to my learning style very quickly. He is not just a gentil teacher but a strict one as well. He pushes me in a encouraging but clear way to help me speak more and practice more. As a teacher as well, I enjoy his class so much, with learning French and with learning from him how to be a good facilitator as well.
