Sharna Gilchrist-Dutaillis
Director
With a deep affection for Ecuador’s nature and the warmth of its people, I decided to call the Andean-Choco region home in 2021. My specialism is in leading engaging and fun language lessons for children and teens. In my classes I look to nurture curiosity and growth so that my students feel confident and independent with their English. In 2026, I was delighted to accept the role of Director at ENLACE, leading the school into its next phase.

Founder
After almost 30 years in education and social care, I decided to return to my beloved Ecuador to serve its people in the name of the Lord. I answered God’s calling by setting up an affordable, accessible, and high quality language school for the population of Mindo. I believe that we all deserve the opportunity to learn and develop; to improve our opportunities and lives. I feel extremely blessed to count with an amazing team of educators and administrators who are helping me fulfill this dream. We not only educate, but nurture children, young people and adults as well as support the community with different projects that will help progress for all involved.
