Prompt, flexible, and knowledgeable

Diana G. served as our student’s weekly math tutor for several years, providing both assistance with school coursework and preparation for SAT math. She immediately connected with our daughter (who is normally a little intimidated when it comes to asking questions) eliminating any self-consciousness she may have felt. Our daughter even took the lead in guiding her lessons to make sure what she needed to know was addressed. I can’t say enough good things about Diana G. She’s not only kind, prompt, responsive, flexible and fun but she really knows how to connect with young people and she really, really knows her stuff (and our daughter sought assistance with math concepts beyond Calculus BC). It’s rare to find someone who has the ability to explain things so clearly (breaking down difficult concepts into easy to understand steps). Anyone who gets to work with Diana should consider themselves very fortunate.

Strongly Recommended AP Calc BC Tutor!

Diana worked with my daughter during her AP Calc BC class this year, and my daughter ended up earning a 5 on the test! My daughter's teacher in school didn't stick strictly to the AP curriculum, and didn't finish with much time left for the students to take practice tests and prepare in class. Diana was an exceptional teacher and tutor who more than made up the difference. Diana clearly explains math concepts, and my daughter found her explanations easier to understand than the in-class explanations. Diana also helped my daughter prepare for tests, reviewing material together and sometimes assigning her extra practice problems. When it was clear as we approached the AP test that the teacher wasn't strictly following the AP curriculum and might not cover everything necessary for the test, Diana put together a plan, taught my daughter the extra concepts, and gave her more practice problems. Diana's deep understanding of the AP Calc BC curriculum, her clear domain expertise, her patience and her communication skills make her an excellent tutor that my daughter was very comfortable working with. I give Diana my strongest recommendation!

Excellent Math & SAT teacher!

My son had missed some AP Calculus classes at school (due to illness) and had fallen behind. He was struggling, and it only got worse as the work became more difficult. He also felt shy to ask questions too, so was headed towards an F grade, fast. Diana came with excellent reviews, and we hoped that she could maybe “just get him through it”. She made a plan of action, figured out his weak areas, and set to work. Over their lessons, she kept him focused and built his confidence. I saw him go from hating the work, to enjoying the challenges. He was able to turn it around with her help, so that he could walk into the AP Calculus BC test confidently - a great achievement, given that only a short time before, he had considered dropping out of the class entirely. He is waiting on final results, but already feels like he did well and gave it his best shot. Diana is friendly, professional, punctual, communicative, smart, and always interested in the wellbeing of the student. She’s a gem of a teacher! I only wish we had started with her sooner. Don’t hesitate! Book her now!

Extremely helpful!

Diana helped tutor me in both Precalculus and AP Calculus. She was always very patient and flexible about meeting times. She helped go over any concepts I was confused about and helped me with homework I was struggling on.

Outstanding calculus tutor

Fantastic tutor! Diana is very patient and understanding, and easily adjusts to the student's learning pace. I was tutored in AP Calculus AB weekly for a year, and with Diana's help I was able to follow along in class, and even get ahead in the material. She teaches new material in ways which are very easy to understand, along with providing extensive amounts of extra practice and problem sets. With this tutoring, I was able to do well in the class and perform confidently on the AP exam!

Caring and trustworthy tutor

My daughter is in a medical condition and was not sure if the tutoring could help her catch up. Teacher Diana was very patient in having conversations with me (the mom) to prepare for the first class in terms of the student's academic needs and accommodation plan. The first class was a big success!! My daughter scheduled the 2nd class with Teacher Diana directly. Teacher Diana kindly discussed with me how to help my daughter catch up and then be on top of things, as well as plan her math study time. I think Teacher Diana not only helps my daughter learn math but also guides her to develop effective/healthy learning strategies to balance her academic stress and recovery! I'm excited and grateful!

Knowledgable, clear, and friendly tutor

Diana is our go-to tutor. Nothing seems to phase her when it comes to math. We use Diana consistently for help in Alg 2/Trig (last year) and pre-calculus honors (this year). No matter the math subject, she has been endlessly helpful in helping my son reach his full potential in math. Yes, she's pricey, but expertise and stress reduction for my kid are worth the price!

Angie, 21 lessons with Diana

Very helpful!

Diana helped my daughter review for her final math exam. My daughter said Diana explained how to solve problems more thoroughly and clearly than her classroom teacher does.

Above and beyond

From our first message exchange, Diana has been eager to make a real contribution to my son’s understanding of AP Calc. She even offered to provide a practice exam and grade it so they could go over specific topics/questions he struggled with. Her communication is clear and positive. My only negative is that I wish we had found her sooner.
