edit: she also offers private lessons on skype. She is about double the price of most french tutors in Quebec, but i guess few people have a degree in french phonetics.

A degree in French phonetics? I didn't know there was such a thing... I have a degree in Linguistics, and Phonetics was but a small part of that. You could cover French phonetics in a single class.

http://www.frenchsounds.com/ is her website,
her education is listed there.
You are technically right, she got her degree in french, but since she wrote her dissertation on french phonetics, she describes herself as having a phd in french with a specialization in phonetics

this video is where she introduces herself.

I like the Barrons' PIP series - There is also FSI French Phonology - I found it to be really useful.

As to phonetics - a really good, if dry, technical introduction is J.D. O'Connor, Phonetics.

Thanks.

If you interested in French pronunciation, you may be interested in the following Montreal-based website: www.langcal.com. It doesn't concentrate on articulatory phonetics of French specifically but there is an extensive list of phrases pronounced at two speeds and in two accents (Québécois and French). I think they are more useful for intonation and rhythm than for the study of individual sounds.

Intonation and rhythm are definitely something i can work on. My french teacher during the summer would joke with the class and say "why do you chop up my sentence!!"
