Josie
I am a born-and-raised Calgarian who has called Victoria home for the past 15 years. After earning my Bachelor of Education from the University of Victoria in 2015, I began teaching and tutoring in the local community. I founded VicTutoring in early 2020 to continue supporting students when in-person classroom work was paused during the pandemic.
Over the past decade, I have taught at several independent schools in the region, including SMUS, GNS, and Cathedral School, where I’ve spent nine years teaching French and Library. I am passionate about helping students reach their academic potential and find great fulfillment in fostering confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.
I specialize in the following subjects:
French (CORE and Immersion) K-9
Reading, phonics, writing support K-9
Math K-7
Testimonials
“Josie is a highly gifted educator. Kind, creative, empathetic, and remarkably supportive, she has a unique ability to engage children and figure out how they learn and what they need. When we initially asked Josie to help our son with conversational French, she noted a gap in his math learning that had not been observed in the school setting and worked with him to fill it. He is now thriving in the next grade and meeting or exceeding expectations in all subjects. He is an enthusiastic and confident learner because of Josie’s ongoing support!”
“Josie is nothing short of exceptional. She has great skill as an educator, is engaging, and has a beautiful personality to match. Our daughter has come to love her like a family member and is always excited to learn with her. She has completely changed our daughter’s approach to learning. We love Josie and highly recommend her.”
“Josie tutored my son in French and English for 4 years (Grade 4-8). She brought a lot of fun into our house as he was learning. On days that he was not motivated to focus after a long day of school, she would switch it up and do something meaningful. Josie worked very hard with him and he really benefitted from their sessions. Now that we are on the “COVID-19” pause, we are excited to restart learning with Josie. I highly recommend her!”
