Gkori Chuquispuma
Cueva,
was born in San Clemente, Pisco-Perú and later moved to Lima in 2002 where she
completed her studies with honours. After completing her secondary education,
she enrolled at the Britanico Institute where she studied English for one and a
half years. During that time, she developed a love of languages and decided to
pursue a career as an English Teacher studying at the Instituto Pedagógico de
Monterrico(IPNM) in Lima-Perú.
In 2008, she moved to the United States where she lived and studied in Berkeley,
California. During that time, she had the opportunity to travel throughout the
U.S, and
in 2009 moved to Vancouver, Canada where she continued her studies and completed
her TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) certificate with honours.
In 2009, along with Geoff, she helped form "Hope Through Humanity",
which is a private foundation that provides educational scholarships to children
and adults in Peru. Most recently, they opened QUEST School of English in San
Juan Miraflores where she holds the position of Director of Education and
Teacher.
Gkori loves to travel, to explore other cultures and to study. She is
particularly proud of QUEST and the possibilities that it offers to it's
students. QUEST is the realization of her dream to establish a school that
provides first class affordable English instruction to students who come from
less fortunate circumstances. She believes that QUEST can open up many
opportunities for it's students, providing them with the necessary tools to find
a better job and perhaps even travel abroad to find employment opportunities. It
is her belief that this will not only improve the quality of their life but will
ultimately improve the living standards of their families.
