About Professor Federica
I am an accredited teacher with 10 years of experience, specialising in Italian, Spanish and English. My extensive education and professional experience in Sydney, Madrid and, of course, Italy have given me a thorough knowledge of all three languages. This enables me to implement precisely the right teaching strategies to overcome any learning difficulty.
I am dedicated to delivering high-quality lessons tailored to your needs and designed to achieve outstanding results. Over 10 years of teaching with schools and privately, I have created lessons that are engaging, interesting and highly effective. My students start speaking the language after the first lesson and eagerly look forward to the next, and I have a proven track record of all my students passing their Italian exams with the highest grades, including the HSC Italian courses (Beginners, Continuers, Extension and Heritage) and the CILS, CELI and PLIDA certifications.
I hold teacher accreditation, which is the official professional status for teachers and is a legal requirement for teaching in schools. To obtain it, a teacher must complete formal training and be assessed against the Professional Standards for Teachers, which cover teaching practice, professional conduct and thorough knowledge of the subject. Private tutoring is not regulated, so anyone can offer lessons, but a tutor with accreditation has met the same professional standard as a teacher in the classroom. For you, this means lessons that are carefully planned, based on proven methods and focused on measurable progress.
I strongly believe in lifelong learning, which is why I continuously invest in my education. Teachers must stay up to date with the latest teaching strategies, approaches, methods and technologies to ensure the best learning outcomes, and I bring them into every lesson. I work with schools, companies, universities and private students from all over the world.

My Italian lessons are tailored to your goals, level and learning needs, so that you can start speaking naturally and with confidence. I teach learners from beginner to advanced level: children taking their first steps in the language, school students, adults who need Italian for travel or work, those moving to Italy, and candidates preparing for the B1 citizenship exam or the B2 exam required to study in Italy. I also work with many Italian Australians and people of Italian descent who have always wanted to reconnect with their roots but never had the chance to learn the language.
With 10 years of experience teaching both online and in person, I use specific teaching strategies and a communicative approach to keep every lesson engaging, structured and effective. Each lesson is carefully planned and includes a variety of activities that constantly improve all four skills: reading, speaking, listening and writing. I speak Italian as much as possible, switching to English whenever you need a clear explanation. Every lesson includes structured materials, including PowerPoint presentations with grammar explanations in English, so that you understand each topic thoroughly. Homework consolidates what you have learnt and ensures steady progress between lessons.
The focus of the lessons depends on each individual need. For conversation, special attention is given to speaking activities, vocabulary and the ability to express yourself fluently in any situation. For travel, we cover practical Italian for ordering food, asking for directions and talking to locals; and for work, the vocabulary and communication skills required for emails, meetings and everyday interactions with Italian colleagues and clients. Young learners follow engaging, age-appropriate activities that make their first steps in Italian enjoyable and build a solid foundation. School students receive targeted support with grammar, vocabulary and written and spoken communication, including preparation for school Italian in Years 7 to 10 and for the HSC (Beginners, Continuers, Extension and Heritage) to achieve the highest grades. Candidates for the CILS, CELI and PLIDA certifications receive in-depth preparation in every skill, together with exam strategies for each test to achieve the highest possible score. If you are moving to Italy, I prepare you to speak fluently, and I offer practical advice on the issues that may arise once you are living there.
Many learners come to me because they hesitate when they need to speak, find native speakers hard to follow, or are confused by verb tenses, pronouns and prepositions. Others forget vocabulary soon after learning it, or lack a clear structure to follow. My lessons are designed to address exactly these difficulties.
I have taught hundreds of students and received hundreds of recommendations on different websites. Students and parents choose me because the lessons are well prepared and genuinely effective; in fact, they see results from the very first lesson.
One of the most important aspects of my teaching is helping you convey meaning effectively in Italian. Teaching a language goes beyond explaining grammar rules and providing lists of vocabulary: you also need to learn how to express yourself naturally, avoiding literal translations that often result in errors and hinder clear communication. By learning how meaning is expressed in Italian compared with English, you will be able to speak as Italians do. With a thorough knowledge of both languages, I am well equipped to guide you towards a deep and comprehensive understanding of the Italian language and culture.
My aim is to give you the skills to communicate independently in real-life situations, whatever matters most to you. To begin, please send me a message describing your goals, and I will plan your first lesson around them. Join the hundreds of students who have already learnt with me.

Federica is an exceptional Italian teacher who truly cares about your progress. She’s deeply committed to helping you learn, not just during lessons but in how you approach studying overall. What sets her apart is her focus on building the right habits—she doesn’t just teach the language, she helps you develop the discipline and consistency needed to actually retain and use it.
Federica is an excellent Italian tutor who is patient and kind. Federica truly understands exactly what her students need at all steps of the process. Immediately, Federica accurately assess a student’s competency level and customizes an effective course around it and the student’s “real life” schedule.
Had my Italian professors in college been as thoughtful and engaged as Federica, I likely would have paid more attention in class, continued my Italian studies, and been fluent in Italian long before this point in my life. Thankfully, I found Federica now, and she will be the professor to take me to fluency—and will do so quickly. Put down the language apps on your phone, and message Federica instead!
I've been taking Italian lessons with Federica for 1 year 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 sameFederica is my first ever language tutor and I couldn’t have picked anyone better! Federica is an amazing and fun teacher that makes learning enjoyable. I was shocked by how much Italian I could pick up and use after just a little time studying with her!
Her structured lessons make sure I’m always making progress, and she has a wealth of resources and recommendations that keep you interested, immersed and engaged with the language. What I appreciate most is that Federica creates a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where I feel safe to make mistakes, and never feel awkward. She’s really aware of where I need to improve, which has been so helpful in building my confidence.
Thanks to her encouragement, I felt ready to speak and understand Italian on my trips to Florence and Verona. Plus, she’s opened my eyes to a whole new world of Italian history and culture.
Thank you, Federica, for showing me the wonders of the Italian language each week! It’s such a rewarding journey! ️
Federica is the real deal, a thoughtful and engaging teacher who makes learning Italian enjoyable and approachable. She strikes the perfect balance for a novice learner, covering everything from conjunctions to pronunciation with patience and clarity. Highly recommend!
I have studied Italian for 25 years.
Frederica is the best most authentic Italian professor I have ever had.
I've had the pleasure of taking Italian lessons with Federica, and I couldn't be more impressed. As a skilled and experienced teacher, Federica has created a learning environment that is both effective and enjoyable.
One of Federica's greatest strengths is her ability to break down complex concepts into manageable and easily digestible pieces. Her teaching system is efficient, well-structured, and tailored to meet the needs of each individual student.

What's truly remarkable about Federica's teaching style is the speed at which I've been able to learn. Her lessons are engaging, interactive, and perfectly paced, allowing me to grasp even the most challenging concepts with ease.
But what really sets Federica apart is her warm and welcoming personality. She's kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about teaching Italian. Her enthusiasm is infectious, making each lesson a joy to attend. She's also a lot of fun to be around, which makes the learning process feel more like a pleasure than a chore.
Overall, I highly recommend Federica to anyone looking to learn Italian. Her expertise, teaching style, and warm personality make her an exceptional teacher. Whether you're a beginner or advanced learner, Federica will help you achieve your goals and make the learning process an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Grazie mille, Federica!Federica has been the most amazing tutor. She assessed my skill level during our first class and curated the course so that it can benefit me and my specific goals. In addition to having vast knowledge of the Italian language, she is extremely kind and very patient. Each lesson is very well organized, and I always leave knowing exactly what I need to study and review throughout the week to keep progressing. I can’t recommend her lessons enough! I’ve had over a year of weekly lessons and I’ve made incredible progress in speaking Italian. I’ve traveled to Italy, been able to speak proficiently, and can write in Italian for work. It’s opened so many doors for me in my career. I’m excited to keep advancing and growing this skill!! Cannot recommend her lessons enough!

Federica is amazing!!! The first lesson we had I was so nervous and shy with my accent and learning but she made me feel so comfortable and so welcoming! Her teaching style is phenomenal I really feel like I am working with a true expert. She is so professional and I have only had two lessons so far and I have already learned so much, she is patient and understanding and really works with you to get you to feel confident and understand everything! She listens to everything and guides you step by step beautifully. I am so happy with my teacher! Thank you Federica!!! :)
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!
Federica is a professional, meticulous and enthusiastic tutor. Her advanced Italian lessons are both enjoyable and challenging. Federica achieves a balance between pushing you to focus on important details whilst encouraging natural conversation.
