Hi! My name is Irene Chen, and I'm a passionate tutor attending Brown University, where I'm currently studying Literary Arts and Environmental Science. With over two years of experience, I help with a diverse range of subjects, including SAT prep, essay editing, and core subjects such as science, math, history, and literature. I have experience teaching kids of all ages, and I also teach non-academic subjects such as art, music, and creative writing.

In my tutoring, I enjoy employing interactive teaching methods that encourage curiosity and critical thinking, and I'm dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment!

My interests include: drawing, writing, hiking, playing the piano/flute, and reading!
