Federico

It’s such a joy every time I have class with Federico! Federico is kind, professional, and incredibly patient. I really appreciate that he gives you his 100% undivided attention throughout class. It never feels like I’m burdening him when I make a mistake or if I take too long to finish a sentence. He is receptive if you have topics you want to cover in class, and he also prepares engaging activities based on your interests. The relaxed vibe of his classes has been really helpful to build my confidence in speaking. I can't recommend Federico enough!

Federico is an amazing teacher! He is very patient and willing to answer any questions I have about Italian. His class is really fun and attractive! I feel very happy learning Italian with him!

I’ve been learning Italian online for a while, but finding Federico was a total game changer. If you need an Italian teacher who actually makes you feel comfortable making mistakes, this is it. We focus a lot on conversational Italian, which is what I struggled with the most, but he also explain the grammar in a way that finally makes sense. As a native speaker, he teach you how people actually talk in Italy, not just the textbook stuff. On top of that, he is super friendly and funny, which makes the hour fly by… I always look forward to our classes!

Federico has been amazing, so patient and flexible, as my filming schedule has changed before our lessons, he has remained in good spirits and joyful. He has an excellent ear for details and my Italian coworkers are impressed with my pronouciation. That is thanks to Federico's relentless persistence of making every Italian word sound perfect. He didn't give up on getting me to say "voleva" correctly even though I pronouced it wrong like a 100 times in a row. I have loved how he has not given up on the faith of me finally being able to pronounce it perfectly. He's become a friend that I feel so comfortable around making mistakes and learn. I also love how he talks Italian to me at the start and the end of class as if I know Italian. He's a great, great teacher, and it feels like he enjoys the lessons too, which is so delightful. I've loved our lessons!

Makes the class informative and fun. Took the time to answer multiple questions I had today and gave clear examples.

Federico inspires the student to learn by designing ingenious and creative, fun assignments that are engaging and highly effective. He prepares original material for the lesson that matches the student's ability and interests. He makes learning fun and relaxing while ensuring that substantial progress is made in each lesson. He is a joy to work with, making language study an adventure.
