“IRENE ALWAYS WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO PROVIDE BOTH OF OUR CHILDREN WITH ENGAGING AND ENRICHING TEACHING THAT ENABLED OUR KIDS TO TRULY UNDERSTAND AND INTEGRATE WHAT THEY WERE LEARNING. HER SKILL SETS, PROFESSIONALISM AND COMMITMENT TO TEACHING SET IRENE APART.”
– mother to kindergartener and sixth grader
“IRENE WORKED WITH OUR DAUGHTER ON READING COMPREHENSION, THE READING STRATEGIES WERE SUPER HELPFUL TO HELP HER FEEL MORE CONFIDENT IN HER READING. IRENE’S APPROACH IS LIGHT-HEARTED AND FUN – OUR DAUGHTER REALLY CONNECTED WITH HER BECAUSE OF THAT!“
-mother to high school student
“IRENE HAS A WONDERFULLY WARM AND CALMING WAY IN HER INTERACTION WITH KIDS. BE IT ON ZOOM OR IN-PERSON, MY SON WAS MOTIVATED AND HAPPY DURING HIS SESSIONS WITH IRENE. HIS SKILLS IMPROVED CONSIDERABLY OVER THE TIME THEY WORKED TOGETHER, AND WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH HIS RESULTS.“
-mother to fifth grader and tenth grader
“IRENE HAS BEEN A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF MY WRITING PROCESS. SHE IS SO THOROUGH AND INSIGHTFUL WITH HER EDITS. SHE KNOWS DEEPLY THE IMPORTANT OF POWERFUL STORYTELLING AND HOW TO GET THERE IN A WELL THOUGHT OUT YET POETIC WAY. SHE IS HELPFUL AND BUILDS YOU UP WHEN GIVING QUALITY CRITIQUE AND IMPROVEMENT. NOT TO MENTION SHE IS A GEM OF A HUMAN! “
