Shameless Plug

I’m Pablo P. V. , a creative copywriter and passionate educator with a unique global perspective. Over the past decade, I’ve combined my love for language and writing to create engaging experiences around the world. As a multilingual professional (native Spanish and English, Portuguese B2), I am uniquely prepared to cater to your global audience. With an M.Ed. in Literacy, Linguistics, and Literature, and 16,000+ hours of classroom teaching across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East, I understand how to connect with people from basically everywhere. In other words, I bring creativity, cultural sensitivity, and a friendly voice to every project. Background My career began in Bolivia, where I started as a junior designer and sales executive, building up skills in multimedia design and business communication. That foundation led me abroad (but not in the way you may be thinking). For six years I taught English and eventually developed curriculum at iTutorGroup, one of the w...

The Current, the Ideal, the Possible: Reforming Bolivian Education for the 2025–2030 Period and Beyond

  The Current, the Ideal, the Possible: Reforming Bolivian Education for the 2025–2030 Period and Beyond by Pablo P. V. This document outlines a visionary reform plan to modernize Bolivia’s K–12 education system. It begins by diagnosing current challenges, including politicization of education, absence of international benchmarking (PISA), and outdated infrastructure, teaching methods, and curriculum. Next, it analyzes socio-cultural and historical factors, noting that aside from the 1955 post-Revolution educational code, there has been no truly comprehensive reform (Jimenez Quispe, 2011). It also examines contemporary challenges, like shortened attention spans from short-format social media overconsumption and the rise of AI-assisted essay writing, and identifies the panorama these factors create. The final section proposes concrete solutions: a fully gamified, technology-integrated learning environment; media-rich curricula; differentiated academic paths aiming for associate-degr...

A Day of Being All Over the Place

I hope August has been kind to you so far. For me, August tends to arrive with a particular kind of quiet at work. It is usually a slow month, so slow in fact that it feels a little like torture. When there is less to do, my mind begins to drift through time. I flit between memories, plans, and scenarios. That restless wandering is probably the main reason I am all over the place , although it is certainly not the only reason. My interests are as wide as my ambitions, so there is always a new idea tugging at my attention. I have to say, though, give me an unimportant task over nothing at all and I will take it gladly. While the sun is up After a quick self care routine, I sit at my desk and boot up my PC. I work as a language acquisition specialist, a copywriter and editor, and a feedback consultant. In practice, that means most of my day is spent helping people find better ways to do what they do. Lately, there's been a lot of "First of all, I won't review AI-generated co...

Why Is Pablo All Over the Place?

I promise you that was the one and only time I referred to myself in the third person. So why add yet another blog to the already staggering ocean of online content? In short, because I need to sort my thoughts out loud, to give shape to ideas that otherwise would drift away in the noise. I want a place where I can confront both promising seeds and useless mindfarts and turn them into something coherent. Some of these ideas are simply for my own benefit; a written record that they were mine to claim. Others are calls to action, invitations to anyone who has the means that I am missing to them up and materialize them. If I don’t commit these thoughts to text, they will vanish, like mist in the morning sun. If I do, they might help us take one more step, however little, in the direction of the world I want to live in. You need to know that, for personal reasons that I may or may not reveal in due time, I only started truly living quite recently, and since then I have been in a race with ...
