Hi. I'm a transplanted Canadian with a degree in modern languages
from the University of Toronto and have degrees in other humanistic
subjects from schools in Europe and the United States. I have
extensive ESL experience and am presently an adjunct instructor at
Brooklyn College, City University of New York. Incidentally, I do

opportunity to hear me perform soon. See you in the concert hall!
(But hopefully in the classroom first.) |

Jelena Djuric |
My name is Jelena Djuric and I come from
Belgrade, Serbia. I graduated from Vienna University, Austria, and I
hold both bachelor and master degree in English language and
literature. I’ve developed
extremely strong communication, writing, teaching and presentation
skills in English. Having had a teaching experience in Belgrade,
Serbia, a number of courses I attended at the English department at
Vienna University, which were dealing with methodological issues of
teaching a foreign language ( Teaching English for specific
purpose), only added to already developed teaching skills. At
the same time, I was also obliged to submit several small-scale
projects that were dealing with various literature and linguistic
issues ( i.e. Controversies
in Applied Linguistics, The
function of repetition in a school discourse etc.
which enabled me
to
develop the ability to deal effectively with written language and
have an excellent command of both formal and informal writing. |

Joan Ramirez |
My name is Joan Ramirez. After obtaining Associate and
Bachelor's degrees (Bus. Admin.), I returned to the
corporate world to fill my Marketing portfolio. When the
writing bug bit, I obtained my Master of Science in
Financial, Technical, and Medical writing at Polytechnic
University and paid my journalism dues in all three before
obtaining the role that crowned my corporate career: Manager
of Communications for a multibillion dollar transportation
and global commerce conglomerate. Having served the
corporate world as a marketing and communications specialist
in addition to being a published, award-winning photographer
(photo in New York Historical Society's archival
collection), media presentation trainer, consultant to grade
schools, colleges, and corporations in the nuances of global
entrepreneurship/creative writing/photojournalism in the
States and South Africa, Argentina, Vietnam, and Eastern
Europe, I decided to return to graduate school in Columbia
University for my second Masters in ESL for Adults, which
I'll complete in early 2009. I spent the summer of 2008
teaching conversational English to high school students from
Spain, Russia, Italy, and Poland. |

Hello my name is Ivan Moore.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn N.Y. I have a Bachelors
Degree in Theatre from City College of New York and a
Masters Degree in TESOL from Adelphi University. I have been
a High School teacher for the past 22 years. I think that
teaching is a great gift but it’s not a gift if you don’t
give it to those that need or want it. I have been lucky to
share it for many years I have taught ESL for eight years to
High school students in Brooklyn and I have spent the last
twelve years as an administrative Dean I am also an actor; I
have worked on stage and in film for the last 15 years. I am
very happy to begin sharing my time with the students of
Bluedata and I hope to I can learn as much from them as they
will from me. |
