I'm Josephine, and I help international professionals find their voice in the German workplace.
I teach them to advocate for themselves and enjoy living in Germany.
I speak five languages and have lived and worked in several countries, so I understand the learner's perspective and the professional's perspective of trying to thrive in a culture that isn't their own. Outside of teaching, I'm a documentary photographer who has visited over 30 countries, and I play flag football. I love good conversations, and I design my lessons around them.
I am a certified DaF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache) teacher, Goethe-Institut certified, and I have taught learners from A1 to C1 levels, from complete beginners to advanced professionals refining their final 10%.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Specialized Translation (Economics), an MBA in Marketing and Data Management, and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Information Law.This combination is particularly relevant to my focus area: Business German. I understand not just the language, but also the world in which you operate — contracts, compliance, negotiations, and corporate communication. My teaching method is communicative and task-based. You will speak extensively and learn through real-life situations.
My lessons aren't just about speaking German more fluently. They're about what you can do with your German skills.
My lessons are structured yet relaxed, and every session is tailored to your goals. I'd love to meet you soon!

We had a few technical "hiccups" today with the quality of the internet connection, but overall it was a relatively successful lesson.

It is a good thing Josephine is so patient and understanding, because I know I get frustrated/irritated when I struggle to find the correct word or formulate sentences properly. She is really helpful in this regard.
