About Me
italki teacher since Dec 10, 2015InterestsFoodSports & FitnessTravelFilms & TV SeriesMusic
I am from Rome where I live most of the time but I like to travel as much as possible. I enjoy my summers in Sicily where I have a second home in Taormina. I love to meet my students in person when they come to visit Italy, especially in Rome and Sicily.. It's always an amazing experience spending time with my students face to face after teaching them online!
I have a true passion for teaching and strive to pass that passion on to my students.Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified teacher with :
ACTFL OPI Oral Proficiency Interview (The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages)
Master Degree in teaching skills and italian culture
International House teaching quality certificate
Ditals Certificate on Teaching Method Capability for Italian to Foreigner
Examiner Certification CELI Italian Language for Foreigners
15 years experience in 5 countries
Experience with both adults and children
In my group lessons I prepare content and activities that are appropriate but challenging for the students so they work beyond their comfort zone and remember what they learn. My lessons & teaching style
In recent years I have studied, practiced and analyzed various teaching methodologies and taught students using "best practices". In addition to direct classroom teaching, I have had the honor and responsibility of providing didactic training at the language school where I am currently employed, for both teachers at the beginning of their career and American university professors interested in courses to strengthen and improve their teaching skills.My teaching material

Federico is a very experienced teacher. He can quickly assess your level and come up with a tailored program to help you improve. I have met with a few italki teachers and none of them come close to Federico. Grazie Federico !

This has been a very useful process in preparing for the CILS B2 exam. The level of vocabulary and grammar matches perfectly with my needs.
