About Diana

Bio

The phrase "Every grain of rice wasted in this life will starve in the next" conveys a powerful message about the need to value our resources and recognize the labor that goes into our sustenance. It reminds us to cherish the abundance often taken for granted and to remain conscious of waste, especially in a world where many struggle for their next meal.

The phrase "Every grain of rice wasted in this life will starve in the next" conveys a powerful message about the need to value our resources and recognize the labor that goes into our sustenance. It reminds us to cherish the abundance often taken for granted and to remain conscious of waste, especially in a world where many struggle for their next meal.

I’m Diana, an Epidemiologist with a Master’s in Public Health. To me, rice represents education—an essential resource often overlooked. Each grain, like a lesson learned, has the power to nourish the mind and uplift communities. Yet, both rice and education can fall victim to neglect, requiring conscious effort to nurture them fully.

My life was built on resilience and struggle. I come from a family of refugees who fled civil war, facing fear and uncertainty as they sought safety in America. Their challenges persisted after arriving; they had to navigate cultural differences, language barriers, and the scars of their past. Nevertheless, my family worked tirelessly to create opportunities for my brother and me—opportunities denied to them due to circumstances beyond their control. Their sacrifices instilled in me a deep appreciation for education, teaching me that knowledge serves as a transformative tool for change, not merely a privilege.

Inspired by my family’s legacy, I am committed to empowering my students to overcome their own challenges. My teaching emphasizes hands-on learning, adapted to meet the diverse needs of each individual. I strive to create an environment where students feel seen, heard, and supported, recognizing the myriad barriers they face—be it socioeconomic hardships, personal struggles, or systemic inequalities. My goal is not just to educate, but to inspire, equipping my students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

ACT Math

ACT Math

Embarking on my ACT journey, I faced the challenge of scoring a 16 in the math section – far from my aspirations. However, through dedicated and intensive study, I mastered the concepts and refined my approach. The transformation was astounding. On my second attempt, my score soared to an impressive 36. This significant improvement not only secured admissions to multiple universities but also positioned me above the standard curve compared to fellow test-takers. Having navigated the complexities of the ACT, I comprehend the intricacies of the exam, having taken it twice myself. I am eager to share my insights and strategies to guide you toward substantial score enhancements. Let's work together to unravel the secrets of ACT math, turning challenges into triumphs. Your success story awaits!
ACT Science

ACT Science

When I took my first ACT science, I scored a 17 on the exam, which isn't very good! After studying intensively and understanding the concepts and questions, I retook the ACT science for the second time and scored a 36, which was a huge improvement compared to a 17. I received admissions from several Colorado universities and was above the standard curve scores in comparison to other students. I understand how hard the ACT was during the time of test-taking, especially since I took the ACT twice. I can help you tremendously improve your score!
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Algebra is the language through which we describe patterns and is rudimentary to a lot of future subjects such as chemistry, physics, and even biology. Once you achieve an understanding of algebra, the higher-level math subjects become accessible to you. I strongly believe that basics must be first understood in order to understand the foundations of other subjects. Without the basics, it's impossible to move forward. Having many years of experience teaching math and having taught algebra in high school and college will help me to guide the student to their goals. With my background and passion for tutoring I am confident I would be a great tutor in algebra 1.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

You've completed algebra 1 and understood topics of linear equations, inequalities, and functions. I now welcome you to algebra 2, which is touch on systems of equations, inequalities, exponential and logarithmic functions, logarithms, imaginary and complex numbers, conic sections, and matrices. Don't let these fancy terms fool you. My passion and years of teaching math at the college level make me a great candidate to tutor algebra 2. I have helped tutor numerous students in this area. I feel very comfortable helping students reach their goals in this area.
AMC (Competition math)

AMC (Competition math)

Success in the AMC math competitions (AMC 8, 10, and 12) depends on developing a flexible and creative problem-solving approach, not just memorizing formulas. Even complex problems can be broken down into simpler parts, much like tackling a real-life project, where smaller tasks are identified, different approaches are considered, and the best solution is executed.
Anatomy

Anatomy

I took a 300 level course of Human Gross Anatomy and a dissection Human Gross Anatomy in college. Studying anatomy is heavily on memorization, but also understanding how each muscles, bones, veins, arteries...etc is named. When you have a strong understanding these names, you will have an easier time memorizing them. Being pre-med, it is recommended that I review anatomy because when you don't use it, you lose it!
Biology

Biology

Biology is the basics to a more in depth and specific topics such as Microbiology (which is what my degree is in), Physiology, Food science, Medicine and even some Animal science degrees. Biology is a fun topic when you can understand the concepts and materials. As a microbiologist and a candidate for the MCAT 2015, I often have to review my biology extensively!
Chemistry

Chemistry

As a scientist, I am required to know chemistry and often review them for my MCATs.
Microbiology

Microbiology

The world between microbes and humans are different, but there are similarities as well, these microbes want to survive and replicate, harm others while some want to help others...just like humans! Obtaining my Bachelors of Science is in Microbiology gave me the opportunity to see that different world of prokaryotes, bacteriology, virology, and other parasites. I can teach you about that spectacular world!
Physics

Physics

As a pre-medical student, I often have to review physics for the MCATs.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

Helping students (K through college, adults) with pre-algebra had always been my passion! I've started out assisting my friends in math in middle school (since I've always received better grades than them), then moved to high school and college, where I aced every exams in math. My expertise in mathematics had encouraged me to tutor. Students who were tutored under me find themselves approaching problems with ease and in the process had a lot fun!
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Big, fancy term, right? Don't be intimidated or fooled! Breaking the terminology down, look at the prefix, tri-, or "trig-" as it's sometimes called) means three, which you can already see that in math, the only shape that has three sides is the triangle. You would be right! Trig is the study of the properties of triangles. Why is it important? It's used in measuring precise distances, particularly in industries like satellite systems and sciences like astronomy. You might think I'm weird, but trigonometry is actually my favorite topic in math. I could honestly do trig problems all day! Out of the students in my class in high school, I was the only one who scores 100% on every trig exams!!! I really love trigonometry! Students who were tutored under me find themselves approaching problems with ease and in the process had a lot fun!

Great English Tutor with Helpful Feedback!!!

My daughter (7th grade) has been working with Ms. Diana for some time now, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. After every session, Ms. Diana provides comprehensive feedback that helps us understand exactly what was covered, along with areas for improvement. She’s always so kind, patient, and approachable, making my daughter feel comfortable and motivated to learn. At the same time, she brings a high level of expertise and knowledge to every lesson. My daughter’s English skills have improved significantly, and she’s enjoying her PSAT prep. Thanks, Ms. Diana! Arigatougozaimasu!!

Diana was well prepared, knowledgeable and welcoming

Diana did a fantastic job of accessing our daughter’s math skills and helped build on her strengths. She came to the first session with lots of supplemental materials and jump right in with insightful help. She did a great good of building rapport and getting to know our daughter. We will definitely continue this work with her.

Algebra 1

Both school work and other concepts. She has been very helpful to my daughter. She's encouraging and can get her over her hump in algebra. My daughter has had a rough time adjusting and she has done well making her feel more confident.

very smart and patient tutor

Diana is very intuitive to the needs of my son. She has tailored to lessons to fit his personality, which can be inattentive at times. She absolutely loves math and has found a way to make the lessons interactive to keep him involved. Her assessments of my son and his abilities were right on, only after a 1 hour lesson. She even said an exact quote that his own Algebra teacher said. Diana is a rare gem. We love her.

Thank you for the feedback!! Your son is a very good student and very smart!!! It takes a great student for teaching to be effective!!

Prepared, personalized, and fun!

Diana was great with my daughter. She proactively asked for topics and materials before the session to prepare. It was obvious during her lesson that Diana prepared which made the lesson so much more personal and productive. My daughter came out of the session with a huge smile on a subject she has struggled with. That's a 5 star in my book.

Diana arrived at the place agreed upon early. She addressed all of my questions and made every to explain clearly how to find my answers. She was very knowledgeable and patient. I would recommend her to anyone that is struggling.

Nicole, 2 lessons with Diana

Knowledgeable and patient

She helped me understand how to write a lab report for a college biology class. She took her time to explain things and made sure I understood each concept before moving on. I would definitely see her again.

Emma, 3 lessons with Diana

Diana is awesome!

She really helps me understand the algebraic problems that I need to work on in order to succeed in this class. I'll do the problems, and we'll compare notes. If I get something wrong, we dissect the question until I get the right answer.
