Federica is an excellent teacher! She explains things clearly and is very thorough, while also being a kind and approachable person that I genuinely enjoy talking to every week.
While I had learned some Italian before, I had a few gaps in my knowledge and Federica is great at identifying those and helping to fill them in. There are many things I have learned in our sessions that I don’t think I would have in less personalised group classes.
I began my lessons with Federica because my mum had been doing a few lessons and recommended her as a teacher. My mum and I are at different levels of Italian and have different learning styles, but we both have benefited a lot from these sessions, which demonstrates how well Federica can adapt to different student’s needs.
I would definitely recommend Federica!

She explains grammar clearly, encourages conversation with confidence, and brings the Italian culture to my life in every lesson. Federica's patience, adaptability, and warm personality make learning both engaging and effective.

I have been studying Italian with Federica for the past year, and I could not be more grateful for the experience. As an older learner, it was important for me to find a tutor who could be patient, encouraging, and understanding of my learning pace. Federica embodies all of these qualities and more.

She teaches with a calm kindness, but also provides the right amount of firmness and structure that keeps me motivated and progressing. I really appreciate how she is willing to review and repeat material as many times as I need, always without judgement. Her supportive approach has helped me build real confidence in my Italian skills, something I didn’t expect to achieve when I first started.

Federica’s lessons are clear, engaging, and tailored to my needs. She creates an environment where learning feels achievable and enjoyable. One year later, I feel a genuine improvement not only in my language knowledge but also in my willingness to use Italian in real situations.

I highly recommend Federica as a tutor to anyone looking to learn or improve their Italian. She is a wonderful teacher, and I’m very grateful for the progress we’ve made together.

I've been taking Italian lessons with Federica for a few months now. Aside from being a wonderful person, she is a great teacher. Her list of credentials and degrees is impressive. I like her disciplined teaching style. I’ve done lessons with other teachers in the past and their teaching style was very unorganized. You can tell that Federica has a sincere desire to help her students learn the right way. It has been a pleasant experience and I’m sure that you would feel the same way.

I look forward to every lesson with Federica, as her patience and sense of humour makes even the most challenging of Italian grammar topics enjoyable!

She creates a comfortable environment and encourages me to try even if I think I’ll get it wrong so I feel free to make mistakes, which is great for how I learn.

Her guidance not only gave me the confidence to speak and understand Italian on my recent trip to Florence but also opened doors to a whole new world of history and culture for me. She has many different resources and tools to help with the learning process some my favourites are the books, films and tv show recommendations.

Federica is a very dedicated teacher who always has lots of great ideas for how to develop my Italian. I've been learning with her for 2 years and have made great progress - her teaching has helped me keep levelling up through that time. She's very supportive and positive, which really helps.

Federica is a FANTASTIC teacher. Plain and simple.

When I started taking Italian lessons with her, I barely had an A1 grasp of the language. Now, 18 months later, I am preparing to move to Italy in large part due to her incredible teaching giving me the skills I need to live and study in the country. I could not recommend Federica more highly.

She is adaptable to every student’s level and needs, flexible with scheduling, and makes each lesson a blast.

Federica is an amazing teacher. My Italian has come on massively since starting lessons. The speed of learning is perfect and the lessons are really well structured so that you get the most out of them. I would recommend anyone wanting to learn Italian to do so with Federica!

I recommend Federica because she is an engaging and well prepared teacher who really cares about improving my Italian. I have had over 30 lessons so far. The lessons are fun but also quite structured so our time together is very efficient. I have tried lots of other ways to get better, but I think time with Federica is by far the best way to progress quickly in all aspects of Italian - written, oral and comprehension all relevant to everyday situations.

Federica is lovely tutor who is very supportive. Her online classes are very engaging and she offers many teaching resources. I really look forward to her classes.

Federica helped me to improve my English level. She was great and very helpful. I recommend her to everyone who needs to learn or improve the language!

I contacted Federica in order to get some assistance in the preparation of my IELTS exam. I saw her three times a week for a duration of 6 months. Considering my poor command of English before starting taking lessons with Federica, I was overly happy with my progresses and outcome of the exam. She is very skilled and professional. Highly recommended

Federica’s teaching style is ‘eccellente’! She is friendly, professional and is very patient with me and even after only 3 lessons I feel I have learnt a lot.

I highly recommend Federica to anyone wishing to learn Italian, either as a beginner or to improve on their existing proficiency; as she is not only a native Italian but also a very knowledgeable and passionate teacher.

Federica has helped me gain so much more confidence with my Spanish, she has especially helped with my accuracy - things I didn’t even know I didn’t know!
I was very close to missing out on my dream universities’ grade requirements, and with such a limited time, Federica helped me prove to my school that I did deserve a higher grade. Thanks to her, I can apply to Oxford! I am amazingly thankful for her support, she has even promoted my love of literature, tying in my other interests such as Classics and Latin. Thanks again!

I have been learning Italian with Federica for a few months now and as a complete beginner, I have found her to be an excellent teacher. She is patient, knowledgeable and has made my learning experience so much better with her enthusiasm for languages.

I have absolutely no reservations in recommending her to others thinking of learning a new language.

I have been studying Italian with Federica for 3 months now, and even though we’ve been limited to learning over video chat, I have thoroughly enjoyed each lesson.

Federica is an highly qualified, passionate teacher with a plethora of experience in teaching pupils of all levels and learning styles. Every session has a clear structure, with each section well explained. I always feel I have come away with something new after every lesson.

Federica always sets out homework and revision for the following class as well as regular scenarios or summaries to complete. I feel this greatly accelerates your learning of the language as it enables you to adapt it to real world problems and situations; which in turn also makes you appreciate the culture.

I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to learn or improve their Italian.

I have weekly lessons with Federica - and had never studied Italian before. She’s been a great teacher - always pushing us to be more ambitious, to improve faster, and to spend as much time as possible speaking Italian, even though we’ve only been doing it a couple of months. Would recommend without hesitation!
