TESTIMONIALS (Find more on my site! Listed in Hobbies/Interests) "After lessons with Irene, I have noticed that I have improved the coherence of my arguments when writing. She has encouraged me to explore beyond the limits of my school curriculum, and as a result, has led me to have a more developed understanding of the subjects that I learn." - Wing, NYU Stern Business (IB Diploma) "Irene is an all rounded literary tutor - she helped me excel in many subjects ranging from MYP humanities to IBDP higher level English. The most remarkable thing Irene did was how she helped me understand complex ideas which I thought I would never comprehend, in the most interesting and interactive ways possible. Very helpful, very intelligent and a very fun tutor everyone should hire!" - Bernie, scholarship student and early CUHK Medicine (IB Diploma) "Scoring an 'A' on coursework and approx. B on exam.
