Patient, Prepared, and Personable Tutor

Dianne created a lesson plan that met my needs perfectly. After a brief chat, she was able to create an agenda that practiced my speaking, listening, and reading skills through role-play, reading relevant articles, and grammar lessons. I highly recommend Dianne if you want a tutor that truly cares about a student's ability to be successful.
