Irene graduated with a BSc in Chemistry at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).Originally pursuing Nursing at CUHK, Irene discovered her passion for teaching after conducting private tuitions and receiving immense satisfaction. She came to realize that teachers play a significant role in guiding her students to achieve their potential. With this passion, she decided to transfer to Chemistry in order to become a Chemistry teacher. At the same time, Irene was active in various activities involving youths, such as organizing youth learning groups in GCyouth.net. In addition, she coordinated two simulation camps for secondary school students on selecting university subjects as well as mental preparation for the release of public examination results. In the process, she sought to develop her understanding of teenage issues in order to help them navigate various psychological and academic obstacles.

Soon after graduation, Irene joined the CANA team. Together with another CANA Chemistry teacher, they published a study guide and workbook for IB Chemistry and created teaching notes for different curriculums. In accordance with CANA’s teaching philosophy, Irene believes that small group settings enable a streamlined teaching method that matches the students’ learning style and individual needs. She also believes that the role of an educator is not only to teach students academic knowledge, but also to train students to explore their own learning methods and attitude.

Currently, Irene is the center manager. In addition to teaching, she manages the daily operation, develops courses, communicates with parents and teachers, and is involved in business development.
