Ciao Phil!
Thank you for your question 😊
The choice between formal and informal Italian when addressing a teacher largely depends on the context. In a college setting, for example, formal Italian is typically used, so you would say, "Scusi, può ripetere?" However, in a language learning context like this one, it's common to use informal Italian when speaking to teachers.
It really depends on the situation, the teacher's preferences, and the agreement between them and their students. Both forms are correct as long as they align with the expected tone of the interaction.
Spero di averti aiutato!

As Felice is a teacher, should it of been the formal way?
"Scusi, può ripetere?"
Thanks,
