I also teach languages for businesses. I have taught Italian or Spanish to Michael Page, Fedex, Comercial Química Massó elfont-Velamen, Ferrara Chamber of Commerce and Industry, among many others.
In addition, I prepare students to obtain official linguistic certificates. I have prepared students to obtain CELI, DELE, SIELE and other university exams (Bocconi University, Bologna University, Trieste University, Torino University, Modena University).
I hold the following official university degrees
- Master in Human Resources Management, UOC - Open University of Catalonia (2023)
- Master in Foreign Languages and Literature (cum Laude), specialized in Spanish, University of Ferrara (2011)
- Bachelor's Degree in Foreign Languages and Literature, University of Bologna (2008)
I hold the following language certificates:

Testimonials
My students include founders, CEOs and senior executives, some at NYSE and LSE-listed companies. Alongside them, lawyers, doctors, diplomats, researchers and artists, and their families. Just as often, university or high school students preparing for official exams.
Student Reviews
Francesca helped me level up my Spanish from "can handle ordering food in a restaurant" to "I can coach your management team in Spanish". It is a world of a difference!
I've had the pleasure of working with Francesca as my Italian instructor for 2 years now, and I can confidently say she brings exceptional energy and empathy to her teaching. Her dynamic approach makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable. She has a remarkable ability to connect with learners and make the Italian language accessible and fun. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and inspiring language instructor.
Per Francesca è importante che le lezioni siano adattate agli interessi e alle esigenze personali e professionali dello studente, in modo che siano personalizzate e flessibili. È paziente e, essendo poliglotta, molto empatica, perché spesso riesce a comprendere molto bene i problemi degli studenti e il loro modo di pensare. Come persona è molto simpatica e ispira gli studenti con la sua energia positiva e motivante. Raccomando al 100% le lezioni di lingua con Francesca.
I have been working with Francesca for a few months now, learning Spanish, and I am extremely happy with the choice I made with her. She is a great teacher, and also a very nice person. On top of that she speaks French and English and this comes useful at times when the need arises to give her students explanations or clarifications. I recommend Francesca 100% if you want to learn Italian or Spanish and make progress quickly. Christophe Bancquart
Francesca è una donna straordinaria che mi ha aiutata per un anno con lo spagnolo ed ho visto dei belli progressi! Si adatta al livello di ciascuno ed è sempre sorridente. Manderei chiunque ha bisogno di aiuto da lei 💖
The best place to learn Italiano! I was looking for someone nice, organised, with energy and with a good pedagogy. Francesca has everything and way more to offer. I strongly recommend!
J’ai décidé de prendre des cours avec Francesca afin d’améliorer mon niveau en italien, et je n’ai pas été déçue. Francesca est une prof vraiment formidable. Au début, j’étais un petit peu dubitative au sujet de prendre des cours en ligne mais Francesca m’a fait adoré ce type de format de cours. Elle est pleine d’énergie, rayonnante et possède une grande qualité pour expliquer des points de grammaire qui pourtant sont compliqués. Francesca a toujours pris le temps de savoir si les formats de cours me convenanit, et si ce n’était pas le cas, Francesca prenait à chaque fois l’initiative de trouver un format qui me correspondait au mieux. Francesca est à l’écoute et propose des cours qui varient ce qui permet d’éviter de décrocher plus rapidement. J’ai à chaque fois un énorme plaisir d’avoir une leçon avec elle. Je recommande absolumeent à tout le monde qui souhaite améliorer son niveau d’italien de prendre des cours avec Francesca.
Une prof exceptionnelle! À l’écoute des besoins, une culture très riche et de la patience. Francesca motive, met à l’aise et adapte les cours en fonction des besoins/objectifs Je n’aurai pas pu mieux tomber! Merci beaucoup
Francesca is the best professor of languages I ever had - and I had a few ;), even though we are only working remotely. I feel like time is flying when we have a lesson. And I am always on a higher energy level after the classes than before. I can really recommend working with her! Grazie mille, cara!
