Bojana Nikic Vujic: English teacher, teacher trainer, television personality, and textbook author are just some of the roles she has filled during her career as an educator. While still an undergraduate, Bojana worked part-time at kindergartens in Belgrade. She took home her master's degree in English Teaching and Methodology in 2005 from the University of Belgrade and worked as an instructor at the Faculty of Foreign Languages until 2007. Afterwards, she taught at a vocational secondary school specializing in pharmacy and physiotherapy, and because her course did not have a textbook, she wrote Explore Medical English. She continues to design and lead teacher-development courses, certified by the Institute for the Improvement of Education in Serbia. In 2014, however, she landed her current job at Ivo Andric Elementary School, and she has been there ever since. But a surprising new challenge arrived in 2020: a TV show. Bojana does not actually have a classroom that she can call her own. Her "My Classroom" is everywhere. Whether she is moving from room to room at Ivo Andric to teach children of several grades, running a professional development program for other English teachers, connecting with other schools in Europe for joint projects, or offering lessons on TV, Bojana is continually expanding her horizons and talents.
