Bio
Russell Rydel
I have been impressed with Federico’s abilities as a math teacher and educator since 2012, when my daughter started 5th grade at Synapse School. In addition to his clear insight into how students learn, Federico provided a math program that was relevant to all students and striking for its applications to the real world. He made math fun, while also getting his students to dig deeper into math theory than they ever thought possible. As a parent, Federico always had a clear understanding of my daughter’s learning strengths and weaknesses, and her ongoing comprehension of the material that was being taught. He was always available to provide additional exercises and insight, and helped to develop in my daughter a true love and appreciation of mathematics that continues to this day. Federico is truly an innovative and inspiring teacher.

Federico is one of the most dedicated and inspiring educators I've worked with. He has a love for problem solving and explaining his reasoning to students in a clear and straightforward manner. His calm demeanor and relaxed style helps put both adults and students at ease. He manages diverse groups of learners exceptionally well and gives each member of his class or workshop subtle but potent pushes to extend their learning. His knowledge and practical application of progressive educational principles in remarkable. I cherished working with him and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
