My name is Irene R. and I come to you with many different experiences that allow me to help you develop a true understanding for how math is used in the real world! I graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. While working in a vehicle design company for many years, I pursued my Masters degree (MBA). After working several years as a design engineer, I decided to try tutoring as a personal business. This business was quite successful and I had a variety of elementary thru high school students I tutored for about 10 years. I truly enjoyed helping students develop their understanding of math concepts and their applications. As a result, I decided to work to become a certified math teacher. Once I completed the certification process, I worked as a middle school math teacher in 6th grade for 13 years. At this point, I am reaching out to help students once again as a personal tutor so that they can be more successful in middle school and beyond.

I develop lesson plans and teaching tools based on each student’s needs. These may include hands on approaches, practice in a variety of forms, math games, and individual support in your own school’s curriculum.

I have extensive exposure to math to on both academic and real-world platforms. I am able to tutor elementary thru high school students because of my own school and work experiences.

I would love to help you become a more successful math student and hopefully give you real world insight along the way. We need more engineers and you are on your way!

Please contact me for any help you may need and we'll work together to help you meet your goals, schedule lessons, or work on assignments.

A very patient person.

Irene is a easy-going person who takes time in teaching students. After a couple of lessons with her my child really got to understand the subjects that she is working on in class and I’ve seen huge improvements in her grades. Irene makes tutoring fun and enjoyable so that’s why I would recommend her to multiple people.

Knowledgeable, fun and patient tutor

My daughter started struggling with math when got into 5th Grade. Grades fell and called for attention. I searched online and decided to give a try online tutoring, as it is more convenient in terms of time and location. Ms. Irene is incredible. She is knowledgeable, patient, experienced with children’s math and more importantly, she is very nice, fun and helpful. My daughter really likes her and told me she explain math well and lot better than her school math teacher. She is always looking forward to her next sessions with Ms. Irene!
