About me

American

Lives in Bogot谩, Bogota D.C.

Speaks English and Spanish

Registration: 10 July 2017

About

Middle-aged gringo who moved to Bogota in 2010 knowing no Spanish and next to nothing about the country. A lot has changed since then! I now provide all types of English language services: translations, presentation training, exam preparation, and recordings. In addition, I sing in a semi-professional chorus that regularly performs with the Bogota Philharmonic. As one who loves dynamic urban environments, Bogota has been a great place to live.

Occupation

I am Self-employed.

Yes, any of the international schools should be fine, but I wouldn't rule out other private Colombian schools--except for those with religious ties. Definitely be open and up front with any administration; how they respond to your concerns will ... Read More
