About the Founder Bruce Thompson, a U.S. citizen permanently residing in Chile, and founder of TeachingChile, has been working since 2003 as a volunteer, dedicated to advancing English in Chile. From writing related proposals for Chile’s Ministry of Education and other educational institutions, collaborating with a number of Chilean corporations, meeting with a variety of charitable funding Chilean and international companies, interfacing with several foreign embassies and chambers of commerce, to participating in English language courses in Chilean schools—Bruce has been passionate about assisting in the development of English programs in Chile. Those years of Bruce’s volunteer work led to the creation of TeachingChile, a concept that all of the above organizations contributed toward the design. Prior to his work in Chile, Bruce enjoyed a 19-year career in which he held executive-level positions for international high-tech corporations where he managed programs that involved cross-cultural activities in the Latin American, Asian, and European markets. Those world-wide programs involved new product launches into foreign markets with an adaptation to the local country, international product distribution agreements which included in-country training, and other international business negotiations.
