About IZ
Hello! My name is Irean, and I am an experienced English educator with over 15 years of teaching experience in Hong Kong and Canada. I hold two master’s degrees—an M.Ed. in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) from the University of British Columbia and an M.A. in Literary and Cultural Studies from The University of Hong Kong. Throughout my career, I have taught English in Hong Kong local secondary schools, worked with adult language learners in Canada, and taught at the tertiary level. These experiences have equipped me with the skills to support learners from diverse backgrounds and with different learning needs. I am passionate about helping students build confidence in reading, writing, speaking, and listening while developing the critical thinking and communication skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. My goal is to create a supportive, engaging, and encouraging learning environment where every student can thrive.

My lessons are personalized to each student’s needs, interests, and learning goals. I bring over 15 years of teaching experience from both Hong Kong and Canada, including teaching English in Hong Kong local secondary schools and teaching at the tertiary level in Canada. With two Master’s Degrees in English-related fields, I help students develop confidence and proficiency in all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. My lessons are engaging, interactive, and tailored to support academic success while fostering a genuine love of learning. Whether your child needs help with reading comprehension, writing, vocabulary development, oral communication, ESL support, or academic English, I provide structured guidance, meaningful feedback, and effective learning strategies that help students become confident and independent learners.

IZ used to be my English teacher in high school, and she has had a profound influence on my interest and confidence in learning English. She is an inspiring, passionate, and dedicated teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ growth and success. Her enthusiasm for teaching always made the classroom environment positive, engaging, and motivating.
One of the things I admire most about her is her ability to adapt and contextualise her teaching methods to suit students with different learning styles and abilities. She was always patient and encouraging, making sure every student felt included and supported. Her lessons were not only educational but also enjoyable, as she often connected them to real-life situations and meaningful discussions that helped us better understand and appreciate the English language.
Beyond academics, IZ motivated students to express themselves and believe in their abilities. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication left a lasting impression on me. I highly appreciate and respect her commitment as a teacher, and I believe she has positively impacted many students just as she impacted meIZ, or I call her Miss Lo, is an absolutely wonderful teacher who made a lasting impact on my life. As my English teacher during junior high in Hong Kong, she didn’t just teach lessons — she genuinely helped me build a strong foundation in the language that I still rely on today.
She was incredibly patient and encouraging as she helped me improve my grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and writing skills. Her classes were engaging and well-structured, with plenty of opportunities to practice real communication rather than just memorizing rules. Thanks to her guidance, my English advanced dramatically during those years.
When I moved to the United States, those early years were challenging, but I was able to survive and eventually thrive because of the solid language skills she helped me develop. Her teaching went far beyond the classroom — it prepared me for real-life situations.
I highly recommend IZ to anyone who is new to English , or who wants to truly improve their English. She is not only a great educator but also a caring mentor. I feel very lucky to have been her student!As a Hong Kong immigrant, I came to Canada three years ago and needed to take the IELTS exam for my immigration requirements. Since my English was not very strong, I decided to study with IZ, and it was one of the best decisions I made.
IZ taught me many effective IELTS strategies and helped me improve all areas of my English. My reading speed increased significantly, my listening skills became much stronger, and my speaking pronunciation improved a lot. The lessons were practical, well-structured, and focused on the skills needed to succeed in the exam.
Thanks to IZ’s professional guidance, patience, and encouragement, I successfully passed all four IELTS components. I am truly grateful for the support and expertise throughout the learning journey.
Highly recommended to anyone preparing for IELTS, especially newcomers to Canada who want to improve their English and achieve their target scores!IZ is very energetic and fun loving, I believe that the passion and energy help students learn better!
