Ciao! My name is Federica and I am a teacher from Florence, a city of arts, the cradle of Renaissance and the Italian language. I have 9 years of experience in sharing our beautiful language and culture with students from all over the world!
I am a teacher but also a traveler and a language learner. I have lived and traveled in many countries and speak English, Russian, French, Spanish, and a bit of Hindy and Swahili. I have a background in classical studies, a University degree in education and later I specialized in teaching Italian as a foreign language My lessons are professionally structured.
The format of the lessons and the learning content that I will provide is individually tailored to the student’s language level and learning needs. With me, you can learn Italian from the very basics to fluency, practice conversation, and prepare for all certification exams (CELI, CILS, B1 for citizenship). During the class I will share a Google Doc that we will use as an interactive whiteboard, there I will paste screenshots of different activities, extracted from modern textbooks or edited by me. I will also share audio files and videos.
“To learn a language is to have one more window to look at the world “I look forward to being the one who helps you open this window! If you think I could be the right teacher for you, don’t hesitate and book a trial lesson with me. A presto!

Federica is professional, patient, highly articulate & is able to focus on key points, whilst delivering the teaching programme. She also recognises that English-speakers are not always proficient in basic grammar. So you often get 2 lessons in 1!

Federica has really helped me to improve in Italian over the past 5 lessons. I now feel more confident to visit Italy and look forward to further progress with her in future.

Federica is an excellent language teacher. She is well prepared with lessons but can also adapt to specific questions I have. I have made good progress in Italian since I started working with Federica.

This was my fortieth lesson with Federica, which perhaps tends to demonstrate that I am well satisfied with her teaching abilities. She is patient and introduces new topics at a pace to suit me, as an older student of 68. She builds my confidence and gives me lots of practice exercises via Googledocs on Skype. She is also very flexible if, from time to time, I have to postpone our regular weekly lesson.
