Our daughter is really benefitting from her classes with Diana. She's taking her GCSEs next summer and now that she's understanding Maths more clearly, her motivation has increased - she's really enjoying the subject. Great communication from Diana, she's always timely and engaged in the tuition time. Great find and fully recommend.
Thank you for your review. Your daughter is a pleasure to teach
From Michaela
Diana has helped our sons overall confidence in his abilities and worked through areas where he was missing the maths skills or understanding to apply to the process properly. Before seeing Diana his maths assessments at school were coming back as inconsistent however now he has just received a praise certificate in maths and recently achieved 92% in a recent maths test. The most important thing for us is his confidence and happiness to now do maths. Thank you Diana
I have really enjoyed teaching him!
From Charlotte
Diana, has been brilliant at helping my daughter. She is patient and clear in her explanations. I would definitely recommend her.
From Nick
Diana has been teaching our son weekly since he started at secondary school in September 2021.
Diana's engaging, friendly, supportive approach and her excellent teaching of maths has made a huge difference to our son's understanding and confidence, and his results at school.
I would highly recommend Diana to any parents that are seeking an excellent maths tutor for their child.
y thanks for your kind words. Your son is a pleasure to teach
From Camilla
Diana has been really helpful with my 16 year old son who finds maths difficult. We should have started earlier!
I'm so pleased to have been able to help!
From Amanda
The arrangements with Diana have worked out really well in preparing my 15 year old son for his Further Maths GCSE. He enjoys the sessions and is making great progress. Thank you!
From Sahir
Diana is the perfect fit for my son. He enjoys his maths tuition and looks forward to the next lesson. Diana is very patient and uses different techniques to help with the understanding of maths problems. Highly recommend her for tuition.
From Kirsty
Diana has a lovely warm approach, which has enabled my daughter to really engage with her tutoring sessions. Diana also has a great way of building confidence, which my daughter really responds to.
Thank you, she is a pleasure to teach
From Dee
We have only just started with Diana but our experience so far has been very good. Diana has been very responsive to messages regarding what we're looking for and setting up sessions; Diana has taken time to find out what it is we want to achieve. Diana seems genuinely interested in understanding what we want to achieve and tailors her approach to suit the student and parent (student and parent's aspirations not always the same!). My son enjoyed his first session and I'm hoping it is the start of a fruitful working relationship.
From Martin
Good communication, very well organised and excellent tutoring. My son is enjoying his lessons greatly and building up his confidence and knowledge weekly.
From Karna
Relatively slow to communicate. Paid tutor introduction fee to release her contact details but did not take any lessons because she suggested that finding someone else might be a better idea. I have given three star for at least being honest to say that she might not have necessary experience/knowledge to proceed with tutoring.
I am very sorry not to have been able to help Karna further with her tuition request and that she has been dissatisfied with the service I have provided.
As I am very busy tutoring, now term time has started, clearly my existing students must take priority. Occasionally this means any new enquiries need to wait a little longer for me to get the chance to reply to them. I will always do my best to ensure existing students get the best service I can offer them even if that means I miss a potential new student if another tutor replies to them more quickly.
I always try to ask lots of questions through the First Tutors website before asking a potential student to pay the introduction fee as this is the best way to make sure we are the best fit for each other. In this instance Karna did not reply to all my questions instead saying she wanted us to have a chat before our first lesson. The only way to arrange this is by paying the introduction fee. Only once this had happened did she tell me she wanted me to teach her son the Further Maths A-Level syllabus. She had not mentioned this at any point before then. I told her I would be happy to try to help but that I had not taught this syllabus before and suggested to her that a different tutor with previous experience at that level may be better.
I have leant from this experience that I must make sure I have answers to more questions before accepting a student and am very sorry to have wasted Karna's time and money
From Stephen
Diana has been, and remains, a brilliant tutor for our daughter. She gives our daughter confidence to tackle the subject whereas previously maths was a scary proposition. I would recommend Diana to anyone.
From Saleema
My daughter was in need of a little help with maths - thank goodness we found Diana! What grabbed my attention was not only her experience as a teacher, but her love for maths clearly shown in her commitment to a university degree. My daughter’s confidence with Maths is an issue and Diana has sensitively addressed this whilst building on her understanding. My daughter finds her patient and relaxed. She enjoys the hour and feels more positive about maths every session. Definitely recommend a trial session.
From Cara
My son didn’t have any confidence in this subject, he now looks forward to his lessons with Diana and it is so nice to see him starting to enjoy maths.
Diana uses various resources and lessons can vary in terms of the approach. She is very approachable and really seems to engage well with him.
His confidence continues to improve and I’m happy with our choice of tutor.
From Ninni
Very prompt, cheerful and straight forward. We will be back.
From Liza
We love Diane! She’s got such a lovely way about her. My daughter really enjoys her time with her and is improving with each passing week. So glad we found her. :)
From Suzie
Diana has been fantastic for my son. His times tables have come on in leaps and bounds. He is learning a new one every week. Diana has also been teaching him other maths on top. Diana is friendly, enthusiastic, reliable and fun fir my son to learn with. It’s been very worth doing. Thank you Diana.
From Scott
Diana was a wonderful tutor for my son. She immediately assessed his strengths and weaknesses and focussed on areas where additional work was required. Diana has a very calm and encouraging personality, which helped my son relax and concentrate in the sessions. Quite inspirational at times, Diana's expertise and teaching methods are excellent. I would not hesitate to use Diana again or recommend her to others. 5-Star
From Carole
Diana is a fabulous tutor and a perfect fit for my son's needs. He has had three lessons with Diana to help him with preparation for GCSE Maths-in this short space of time, she has aged to boost his confidence and reassure him that he is an able mathematician. Diana has a brilliant approach to tutoring, using understandable language (and checking this is the case) and adopting a calm and encouraging approach to guide students from a basic understanding through to tackling more advanced topics.
