Hi! My name is Federico, I was born in Padua (italy) and I teach Italian as foreign language, History and Philosophy with 5 years of experience in an International School.
I am open minded and tolerant of all customs, values and traditions. I am patient and polite and do not mind working through things in a caring encouraging way with students.
I teach children (from 10 years old) as well as adults. Moreover I have an international and intercultural education (European Phd in Political History) having the opportunity of getting to know various European countries, interacting with students and workers from different nationalities and cultures. I have experience teaching students of all ages and backgrounds, from complete beginners to advanced students. I love to motivate my students and make learning a comfortable and enjoyable experience. I always aim to make my classes comfortable and give my students the opportunity to express themselves and have more talk time, so they can build confidence and get to improve their skills.
During my lessons my first goal is to build a trustworthy relationship with students, developing a personalized learning plan: your goals will be my goals!!

Federico is a very knowledgeable teacher with lots of patience and experience. He is teaching me philosophy in Italian, which is so fascinating and exposes me to a vast amount of new vocabulary. Besides that, philosophy is also my interest, I’m so excited to explore this field together with Federico: using ancient theory to solve modern day problems. I’m never so motivated to learn a foreign language;)

Federico is an excellent teacher! When I started my lessons with him he understood exactly what I needed and provided a lot of input for an upcomming job interview. It was extremely helpful! He is also always very patient with my many questions and I'm always looking forward to the next lesson. Grazie tantissimo e a la prossima!
