I have learned so much with Irene. She creates such a comfortable, fun, and fast paced learning environment which is perfect for me. She leaves room for me to ask questions, and goes out of her way to make sure I have a good grasp of difficult topics. I feel very at ease learning with her, and motivated to practice.
