Hi, I’m Alessandro.
Over 20 years of career, people have known me in multiple roles: foreign affairs journalist, language teacher, public speaker professor, interpreter and translator, quizmaster.
Combining the expertise learnt in different fields, I’m now going to add two more tags: writing and speaking coach, and team-building events organiser. I am based in Bangkok, Thailand, but I’m available for online coaching sessions from anywhere you live.
I believe my eclectic background is a resource. The engines that powered my career are an insatiable curiosity, solution-oriented analytical skills, and the priority given to the needs of the clients or audience.
Most of all, those who work with me particularly appreciate my talent for explaining complex concepts in understandable terms.
This is what defines me in all I do. And I think it can benefit you.
Writing coach
Do you need a high IELTS or TOEFL score for your next career or academic step?
Do you use English in your job or studies, but you are always second-guessing what you need to write because you are not confident in your grammar?
With my coaching, you will gain access to hundreds of slides and exercises tailored to your needs. And I will give you detailed feedback on your writing at any time, free of charge.
You will write at an advanced level, broaden your vocabulary, and come up with original and well-structured ideas to fully express what you want to say.
Speaking coach
Do you often give presentations at work, and you think you are a boring speaker?
Do you need to give a speech on a special occasion?
Are you not sure how to craft the story that you need to tell?
Our sessions will help you overcome your anxiety, empower your voice, learn the appropriate body language, and put together an engaging story. My exercises and techniques will also improve your pronunciation and intonation.
Team-building
Does your company need a memorable team-building activity?
Do you want to spice up a private event with knowledge and fun?
My quiz nights will entertain large or small groups in a live multimedia quiz, with questions tailored to the participants.
The result? New bonds are formed, in an environment of healthy competition.
