My lessons & teaching style
As a musician and drama teacher, I like to make sure my students have fun while learning English. My lessons are highly interactive and conversational, based on reading articles together on the most exciting topics of the day. You’ll quickly learn to express your opinions fluently in English and improve your confidence when speaking with new people in social and work situations.
If you are interested in business English or English for Academic Purposes (EAP), we can discuss issues that are relevant to your area of work or study, using sophisticated language that will enable you to increase your vocabulary and fluency in your subject area.

Diane asks me a lot of questions, so it makes me think and answer in English. Through the conversation with her I can learn different ways to say. Thank you, Diane.

Diane is a very kind and student-oriented teacher. She is very considerate when correcting mistakes, she doesn't do it in a way that makes me feel bad, she doesn't correct me when I am talking, and she listens carefully. She gives me plenty of opportunities to speak and also gives me lots of input. I highly recommend her.
