For the first meeting, she had prepared several materials so that she could find the best way for my daughter. Since my daughter wanted to improve her pronunciation, Diana introduced some web site regarding pronunciation and my daughter can learn how to pronounce correctly with the help of Diana. She also suggested to get a mirror to see the mouth carefully when my daughter speaks. Now, my daughter has found words she cannot pronounce correctly. We have been satisfied with Diana so far.
