About Federico
Chi sono io?
I am a friendly, kind and patient person who aims to be an empathetic teacher.
I started teaching languages in 2013 when, after completing my Modern Language degree(University of Verona) and Italian Teaching diploma(University of Siena), I moved overseas.
Since then, I have been teaching in Spain, the UK and Australia.
I completed my Master of Education in Great Britain (University of East Anglia) and moved to Australia in 2018, where I have been teaching in a Secondary College and at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.
I am passionate about languages and the language acquisition process.
I love building trust with my students and witnessing the blossoming of their skills and confidence.
I hold a current Victorian Teaching Registration and I have a Working With Children Check.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, joining cultural activities, reading and spending time with my loved ones.

What and how will we learn?
If you are a high school student or a VCE student, we will aim to :
- learn and acquire the language and grammar you are expected to master according to the VCAA study design.
- practice the SOLO Taxonomy and the metacognitive techniques you will need to achieve higher scores in all exam components and SACs.
- build independence in the language learning process.
You will write and send me texts(or written/oral responses depending on the task). Then, we will meet on Microsoft Teams to discuss how to improve content, writing style, language and grammar.
We will also meet for speaking practice to boost your listening and improvisation skills.
I will teach you how to use filler words, body language and tone to sound like a real Italian.
If you are an adult learner, we will discuss what your interests and goals with the language are, we will assess your current skills, and we will devise a plan together.
We will:
- learn and assimilate, via communicative tasks, the language you need to deal with real-life situations;
- master grammatical structures and sentence starters that allow you to convey meaning accurately and confidently;
- Recognize and build up the language to discuss a wide range of topics;
- discover the Literature, Cinema and Music (based on your interests);
- work on your independence skills during the language learning process.
How long will the lessons be?
Lessons can be from 1 hour to 2 hours long based on needs, topics and number of participants.

Ho avuto la fortuna di avere il prof. Federico come insegnante di inglese. Il suo metodo di studio è molto stimolante ed è davvero ottimo anche per me che non sono più giovanissima. Essendo così efficace, i risultati si percepiscono in breve tempo. Lo consiglio a chiunque abbia veramente intenzione di impegnarsi ad imparare l'inglese. È davvero un superprof!!!!!
Molto bravo , professionale,consigliato per chi vuole apprendere questa nuova lingua e' molto paziente e ti rende piacevole la lezione.
I have worked with Federico as a teacher and have observed him to be incredibly knowledgeable and patient teacher. He takes the time to explain content and skills to his students in a way they can understand. He provides many opportunities for speaking practice and many of his students have achieved great marks after working with him. Federico is always prepared and will be a pleasure to work with.
Prof Federico was my Italian teacher for Year 11 and Year 12. I whole heartedly believe that I would not have been able to get through VCE Italian without him.
Going through VCE, I was very unsure about my abilities and lacked confidence to openly express myself in Italian. However, Prof Scalvini was so supportive and made the classroom a safe environment where students were not afraid to make mistakes.
He is a very patient person who genuinely wants his students to achieve so much. My skills improved over the years and going into my final exams, I was so confident in my speaking and writing skills as Prof made sure we had an abundance of practice.
I earnt Dux in my school for Italian and intend to continue my Italian studies in later years at University. Prof Scalvini truly made Italian an amazing subject and helped me to foster my love for the language.
- IsabellaProf Federico is a very thoughtful and dedicated teacher. He was constantly going above and beyond to support my learning as well as my classmates' learning, from staying back after class, to prompt replies outside of class, he really made our class feel like a priority. He created a safe space for me to grow in my ability learning Italian and challenged me to think about ideas in a more profound way which lead to a greater understanding of the language. Prof Federico gave me so much confidence speaking, reading and writing that I entered the final exam with a sense of calmness that I had done enough to prepare. He has inspired me to continue my journey of learning Italian beyond high school and continue growing my love for the language.
- JuliaWorking with Prof Federico was such an incredible experience. Being his VCE Italian student for 2 years, I was amazed to how much time he dedicated to help me and my peers reach our full potential in our Italian reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. While being patient and understanding, Prof also made sure to thoroughly and promptly provide feedback according to the VCE guidelines. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better Italian teacher! I highly recommend him!!
