Our story begins with a family from Great Britain who, in search of new job opportunities, settled in the Biobío region of Chile. Over the years, this family has put down deep roots, forming a solid tradition in teaching English.
My grandmother, Mrs. Ethel Turpie, began her work at St. John’s English School, where she dedicated more than 50 years to teaching English and music. Her educational legacy impacted several generations, creating a solid foundation for our mission. Later, my father, Eric Brian Saffery Turpie, continued this path by teaching English in Talca at the SAFFERY BRITISH ACADEMY, an institution that he led with dedication for more than 17 years. After his death in 2010, I assumed the responsibility of carrying on his legacy. Since then, I have been at the forefront of our project, offering group classes to children, adults and companies, both privately and through institutions such as Sence, the Chilean Chamber of Construction, Sofofa and the Chamber of Commerce, where I act as a speaker.
