Ciao! I’m Federica, your Italian tutor from the beautiful city of Perugia, nestled in Umbria—Italy’s lush 'green heart.' 🇮🇹✨ As a Community Tutor for Italian, I’m passionate about sharing not just the language but the vibrant culture and traditions of my homeland. Since I am also a Tour Guide, my teaching philosophy revolves around making Italian *alive* for you—whether it’s through art, food, or lively chats about local customs. I want you to *experience* the language, not just study it, by connecting it to real-life moments and passions.

Me as a Teacher
I believe learning a language should feel natural and enjoyable, which is why I love creating a relaxed space where students can express themselves, make mistakes, and grow with confidence.
For the past six years, I’ve been helping students become fluent and confident in Italian through engaging, conversation-focused lessons.
I accompany my students beyond grammar and vocabulary, helping them experience the heart of Italy — from breathtaking landscapes and timeless art to local traditions and everyday life.
Whether you want to travel, connect with your roots, or simply enjoy the beauty of Italian, I’m here to help you speak and discover the true soul of Italy.
My lessons & teaching style
Conversation is the best way to learn a new language. I teach Italian through the customs and traditions of my country. From north to south, Italy offers a variety of worlds: food, art, landscapes, dialects, and culture to explore in each lesson. I focus on conversation, using topics that interest the student most. For learners with at least A1–A2 level, I also provide grammar, vocabulary, exercises, videos, and podcast. I’m patient, helpful, and a good listener, and I always adapt to each student’s needs with personalized materials, a flexible approach, and attention to individual goals, learning styles, and progress tracking.

Tutte i lezioni con Federica sono fantastiche. Federica crea materie e discussioni basate sui tuoi interessi a un livello comprensibile. Quindi, posso parlare delle cose che mi piacciono e allo stesso tempo imparare della cultura e della storia italiana in modo naturale e affascinante. Grazie Federica :)

I find myself chatting to Federica - IN ITALIAN - about all sorts of things. I've struggled for years to do this and now I'm getting there. This lovely lady has helped me enormously. I really look forward to our sessions together and the time flies over. Splendid!

Sono cresciuta moltissimo lavorando con Federica. Dopo aver studiato con lei, mi sento pronta per sostenere l'esame CILS B2. Ora capisco anche i comici italiani, che per me è un vero piacere. La raccomando vivamente!
