Of Course Italian

I recently completed the Intermediate Course at Federica Deriu's Of Course Italian academy. I found it very helpful. Federica quickly understood what I needed to improve on and what I needed to address for the first time, such as the imperative and subjunctive verb tenses. Federica has a sympathetic and encouraging manner and a wholly positive approach. I would recommend her courses to anyone wishing to improve their Italian.

I’m absolutely delighted to have discovered Of Course Italian, and our wonderful teacher, Federica. She takes so much time and trouble preparing the lessons, providing interesting and varied resources, and leading us gently through the complex process of learning a new language. She is so kind and supportive, really encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere among the group where you feel compelled to do your very best! I recommend this course, and Federica, 100%, am loving it!!

Federica is an amazing language teacher! I so appreciate her being very patient and encouraging throughout all the classes! The classes have their focus on being communicative, meaning there is a lot of classroom interaction and focus on learning how to speak and have fun with the beautiful Italian language. Federica is very attentive and active during the lessons herself, which is great - so she is always there to support you whenever you have a question. She creates a very positive classroo...

Federica is a great teacher, she taught at our pace and each topic was covered clearly and in depth. There was a real focus on practicing our speaking and listening skills which I loved, and it really helped me grow in confidence. She supported us throughout and always answered our questions! I liked the online classes as it meant I could log on after work, and Federica always had an excellent lesson plan and shared her screen. This was a learning format I thought worked really well.

Every lesson is interactive, filled with conversation and an excellent focus on grammar. Federica had us speaking Italian within the first few minutes of our first class. The colleagues in my class are also so friendly and we all support each other. I am loving the interactive conversations with them :) Federica is phenomenal and such a wonderful teacher! Highly recommended!
