Are you tired of studying grammar and doing exercises, but are struggling to speak Italian?
Join my courses, indulge your passion and get great results.
I’ve taught Italian for over 15 years and I still love it!
I must admit that many years ago, when I dropped off my CV at an Italian school in Bologna, it had not been planned at all. I had just come across the school on my way home and decided to pop in. Well, that was a memorable day for me, because that was the day I discovered the job of my life! It was love at first sight!
Teaching Italian is not just a job for me. Over time I’ve realised that my job is also my passion, my mission.
To me, teaching my language, culture and country to the rest of the world is about sharing my passion for my roots and for the place where I come from.
Every day I feel grateful for this job that I love so much and for all my students who support me in a truly wonderful way.

‘What my students say about me’
I have started learning Italian with Federica several years ago and I understood the big difference with other teachers: she knows how to help me speak. I enjoyed the process of learning and the result of that.

Federica is wonderful. She is patient, engaging, accessible and endlessly positive. I would enthusiastically recommend this method for learning Italian.
Deborah- California
Italian on the couch was one of my best decisions this year. Your method is perfect for me. Thank you so much for all the lessons, especially for taking away my fear of speaking.
Thomas - Germany
Federica is an outstanding teacher of the Italian language. Not only by her knowledge of the language itself but also her passion and skill in making you want to learn. She always turns up with the biggest smile and it’s a happy lesson every time. I couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone who wants to learn Italian.

I want to say a big thank you to Federica for her lessons! I studied Italian with her for almost two years. During this time, my level of language proficiency has grown significantly. It helped me a lot to overcome the language barrier, communicate with native speakers, watch movies.. And all this is thanks to Federica's high-quality methodology and approach!
