Nice to meet you

I’m Nic D’Alessandro

Education – teaching, learning, designing, facilitating, assessing – has been the majority of my thirty-year career. I’m a passionate educator who likes nothing more than seeing people and organisations learn, grow and develop.

I’m based in the city of Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) and thoroughly enjoy living and working here. Its a great place to be! I work throughout the state, interstate, and I can work online to anywhere with an Internet connection.

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

Benjamin Franklin

These wise words sum up – in one neat sentence – my philosophy of education, and how I go about my work.

Why choose me?
