Bio

What makes me different from other tutors you'll find on this website is my work in education. My PhD is in science and math education, and I've spent years studying and conducting research on how students learn these subjects. In addition to teaching many biology courses at the college level, I've also taught two semesters of intermediate algebra at San Quentin prison as part of their Prison University Project. I've worked with a wide range of students and find great fulfillment in helping...

What makes me different from other tutors you'll find on this website is my work in education. My PhD is in science and math education, and I've spent years studying and conducting research on how students learn these subjects. In addition to teaching many biology courses at the college level, I've also taught two semesters of intermediate algebra at San Quentin prison as part of their Prison University Project. I've worked with a wide range of students and find great fulfillment in helping them learn and getting them excited about learning.

I am a patient teacher and believe in carefully and strategically guiding students to arrive at correct answers on their own. I am very organized and always like to have a plan, but am also very flexible and believe it is necessary to cater my teaching style to individual students. I believe that building a strong rapport with my students is the foundation to a helping them learn.

Incredible tutor!

Diane was super helpful and easy to approach. She spent our entire lesson period helping me dissect the different types of SAT questions in the math section and explaining different test strategies. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Gavin, 1 lesson with Diane

Really knowledgeable and patient- great with fundamentals!

Does a great job explaining things from different angles and helping you catch your mistakes then developing ways to prevent them in the future. Does a good job identifying the fundamental concept in a question and teaching you that concept so you can apply it to other problems.

Awesome

Helped a lot with Biology. Well prepared. Lessons were focused and accomplished a lot in quick time. This was the last of several lessons for my daughter. She feels better prepared for her AP Bio test coming up.
