Hello. My name is Jeff Isfeld. I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that I have had in Translating and hope to continue to have many more.

I'm a Canadian who has been living and working in Colombia for the last 24 years. I am the owner of an esteemed english institute here in the city of Neiva, a medium-sized city about 5 hours southwest of the capital of Bogotá. I have been teaching english as a second language to spanish speakers for this time as well. Having taught English for so long while living immersed in spanish here in spanish, has giving me an advantage over other translators as I not only know the literal translation of spniash but, as well, the colloquialisms. I have done spontaneous translating and literature translating for many different companies, from government agencies, to petroleum companies to the United Nation Refugee claims division, to name a few. I studied english in the University of Lethbridge in my home country of Canada for 4 years before coming here to Colombia at the age of 25. At the time I thought I was going to be an english teacher in Canada but fate brought me here to educate the beautiful Colombian people.  I am fluent in english, my native language,  and also spanish. As I mentioned above I have worked for the United Nation Refugee claims division, I was in charge of translating all of the refugee victim impact statements as well as translating all the necessary forms for the refugees seeking asylum through the United Nations program based here in thiscity.

On a personal note, I have been married to my beautiful Colombian wife for 20 years. We have a 17 year-old daughter. 

I am an extremely dedicated hard-worker. I take great pride in always doing my best in all that I endeaver to complete. I have always excelled in what I put my mind to and I look forward to working for  you and your prestigous company. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
