Federico teaching an online Spanish lesson from his flat in Valencia

Who I am

Hola, I'm Federico

I've lived in Valencia for over thirteen years and I teach the Spanish people actually speak here: the one you'll hear in a bar, not the one printed in your textbook.

For the past three years I've helped learners speak with confidence in lessons where you talk from day one. I speak fluent English too, so if you're starting from zero, you'll never feel lost.
