Hello! I’m Ilene, a dedicated teacher with over 20 years of experience working in international classrooms and providing one-on-one support to students of all ages. My specialty is in building strong English language skills, from reading comprehension and writing to developing the communication skills needed for academic and personal success. I am experienced in US, UK, and IB systems, so I understand a range of curricula and how to adapt lessons to suit each student's learning style and goals. I love creating personalized learning plans that not only support English language growth but also focus on key areas like study skills, social-emotional development, and building positive routines. My approach is supportive and collaborative, and I believe every student can make real progress and meet their goals. It’s rewarding to see my students thrive, especially as they improve their grades, prepare for university, and confidently transition between school levels. I’d be thrilled to help you achieve your English goals and make learning a fun and positive journey!
