Jorge Espinosa is a passionate linguist who stands out for his sensitivity in transmitting knowledge about Mother Earth Pachamama. His knowledge in the various technical and creative areas of Pedagogy, Life Sciences, and Design, combined with his experience of more than twenty years understanding the symbiotic relationship of the living organisms in Guayllabamba, has strengthened his capacity as a mentor and a teacher.
In 2011 he started his own-business tutoring children on general education curriculum (K-12). One year later he was hired to work as a bilingual teacher for Colegio Británico Internacional. As part of this school, he refined his skills as a teacher. He was trained on the International Baccalaureate Program, IB (PYP, MYP, DP), the Reggio Emilia Approach, and The Reading and Writing Workshop.
He is a highly skilled translator and interpreter. He worked for a construction company that had English-speaking customers who had him translate legal, medical, and technical documents in addition to his duties as a bilingual sales representative. He has worked as a simultaneous interpreter (ENG/SPA) for Scholars, Authors, Publishers, Lawyers, Investigators, Scientists, Business people, and Doctors.
His most recent work as a simultaneous interpreter was for Andrew O'Keefe during his visit to the Ecuadorian Amazon to study the behavior of the Waorani people.
He is the happy father of a 4-year-old girl to whom he enjoys reading books in Spanish, English and a little French.
Jorge is driven by his passion and eagerness for excellence and greatness.
Given his taste for advertising and architecture, he writes about his findings in Quito, his hometown. He is an active member of Ciclistas Urbanos de Quito with on-going projects such as Ciclovías Conmemorativas and Masa Crítica.
Not everything is serious about him, he enjoys Cyanide and Happiness for a laugh and preparing his grandma's favorite recipes.
