Diane is a consummate professional. During her lessons, she constantly types out all the words and expressions I need to learn, which is incredibly helpful for my review. She is also genuinely interested in what I have to say and asks engaging questions that keep the conversation flowing. Thank you, Diane!

Diane is a caring, thoughtful, and open-minded teacher. She has helped me improve my speaking skills by providing spot-on English idioms, correcting my misuse of verb tenses, and showing me how to speak more like a native. Highly recommended!
