Diane is a super teacher, we like her very much and what she has done for us is amazing. Many thanks.
Bonnie B. from Ventura, CA
Diane is a great tutor! She helped me in preparing for the TEAS test. She was so helpful with reading, math and especially grammar. Every lesson she was willing to explain concepts and was very patient with me. She taught me how to solve problems and how to think positively during a test! I highly recommend her as a tutor! With all of her help I was able to pass my TEAS test!
Cindy H. from Newbury Park, CA
Diane's an awesome tutor. My 15-year-old daughter (very soon to be 16) has a great rapport with her! We keep going back. Diane helped my daughter get an "A" in English last school year. We're now back in hopes that Diane will help my daughter with the Verbal and writing portion of the SAT! Very patient. My daughter likes that she can easily understand Diane's instructions/directions. She's very down-to-earth.

Diane is a highly intelligent tutor who is well versed in all subject areas. She is patient, calm, and thorough in her style of tutoring. Diane helped me with the reading and math sections of the CBEST, which I'm thrilled to say I passed both sections easily. In addition to tutoring on the subject matter, Diane also has many test taking strategies that she shares with her students , which no doubt, helped me to achieve a passing score on the CBEST. I highly recommend Diane to any age student that needs tutoring.

Diane has been giving me weekly piano lessons at her home for a few months. I am 33 years old and I want to learn piano out of interest. I started as a complete beginner and she has been very patient with me. Her piano is nice and she helped me choose a good keyboard so I can practice at home. Diane focuses on proper technique and she is very good at showing what to do. Her rates are reasonable and I highly recommend Diane to anyone who wants to learn to play piano.

I have been taking lessons with Diane for a little over a year, and the experience has been wonderful. I originally came to Diane to be tutored for the GRE, but after a few months I decided I also needed to have someone proofread and help me improve my application statements. She has also started tutoring me in Spanish (when we have time), and we decided to focus on that once my graduate applications are submitted. Diane primarily helped me study for the quantitative portions of the GRE, but we also did problems from the verbal as well. I am not a good standardized test taker, but Diane made the experience more bearable and I did better in the quantitative than I would have without her. She has been able to teach me in multiple subjects and has taught me, particularly in math, little tricks to retain information quickly and to become speedier on the actual exam. Diane has been significantly helpful while I have been writing my statements of purpose. She gives fantastic constructive criticism and is easy to understand when she suggests structural adjustments to my papers. My statements are now much easier to read and have really solid content and structure (along with good grammar). I have had at least 4 tutors before Diane, and she is, by far, my favorite. She makes the experience fun and less overwhelming and has a very positive outlook and energy. Diane makes me extremely comfortable (which is important, I believe), and she has become someone I look to for guidance and advice because I know she is so trustworthy and knowledgeable. She also keeps me on track (which is what I like and need) since applying to multiple graduate schools and programs while trying to still live your life can be hectic! If you live in the Ventura County area and are looking for an amazing tutor in multiple subjects, I highly recommend Diane! This woman can do and teach you almost anything!

Diane is helping me prep for an important test coming up. She is teaching me strategies for test taking. Each lesson I am learning more and more.
