About Dian


Bio

At the University of Michigan, while earning a Masters degree in Statistics, I taught the introductory level Statistics course. What a wonderful experience. During my 16 year career as a Statistician at General Motors and then as a Corporate Finance VP at Morgan Stanley, I always loved helping colleagues understand Statistics. Teaching was the best part of my day.

During my 16 year career as a Statistician at General Motors and then as a Corporate Finance VP at Morgan Stanley, I always loved helping colleagues understand Statistics.

After leaving Morgan Stanley, I volunteered for the PTA’s at my children’s schools as a Treasurer and Finance VP. I also volunteered for the AP Statistics teacher to help in the classroom and as a tutor.
Currently I am tutoring High School AP Statistics, and College and Graduate School Introductory Statistics for many different disciplines (for example: Business, Marketing, Nursing, Social Work, Psychology, Neuroscience, Communications, Education, Leadership, and other Social Sciences). It’s a wonderful feeling. I love all the students that I work with and look forward to meeting many more.

Statistics

I have a master's in Statistics and an MBA in Finance from the University of Michigan. During that degree, I taught the introductory graduate level statistics course while getting my masters. I used Designed Experiments and Computer Simulation to improve the manufacturing process at General Motors. I used Statistics to implement risk management strategies at Morgan Stanley (Foreign Exchange risk, Liquidity Risk, Capital Risk). I loved to help my colleagues with Statistics questions they had. I am currently tutoring AP Statistics, undergraduate and graduate introductory statistics which I love to do. I look forward to hearing from you.

WONDERFUL AND EXCEPTIONAL TUTOR

Having the opportunity to work with Ms. Dian was life changing for me…she was able to answer all of my questions and go into great depth on all of the topics I needed her help with. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, whether needing to learn the material, or wanting to gain a deeper understanding of Statistics. -Maya B. As the AP Statistics course material became more challenging, my daughter began to lose confidence with mastering the material and with exams despite many hours of studying. After only 1 session, I watched my daughter's face light up after her tutoring session with Dian. My daughter transitioned from self-doubt to confidence in her understanding of AP Statistics course work, earning As on all subsequent AP Statistics exams. While in a session with Dian, there was never a moment of boredom, just constant intellectual stimulation and the excitement of understanding difficult material on a higher level. My daughter indicated it was a joy for her to interact with a teacher who is "really" smart and engaging and always able to help. Overall, Dian was highly responsive, motivated, and committed to ensuring my daughter achieved a high level of mastery in her AP Statistics studies. Dian is a wonderful and exceptional tutor. We wish she can tutor all AP subjects. -Maya's Mom

Thank you so much Maya and Mary Ann. It was a pleasure to work with Maya. Maybe she'll take another statistics course that I can help her with one day.

Amazing tutor!

Hi Chrissie Thank you so much for bringing a big smile to my face. I look forward to working with your son again soon.

Amazing and Patient Tutor!

Dian helped my daughter prepare for a retake exam in AP Stats. She said Dian is so nice and explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand. During their first session, Dian went through every problem on her prior test and my daughter came away feeling confident she could solve each problem with a little practice. In my daughter's words, Dian is a math angel." Highly recommend!

Great teacher

Dian was a great teacher able to take the concepts and make it clear for my daughter. She learned a few new ways to look at the problems which helped cement work. She offered if my daughter had further questions she could contact her. Very positive experience.

Great reviews from my son!

My son has tried a few tutors for stats. After his lesson with Dian, he said she was the best by far. She really explains the concepts and helps him understand the material.

Thank you so much Gina. It was a lot of fun working with you. I look forward to more lessons.

Excellent Tutor and Academic Coach

Dian is an excellent tutor and a true mentor. She has the right domain expertise, and has boundless energy to get solutions to the most complex problems. Dian balances short term academic priorities and longer term goals: her way of coaching and developing is naturally embedded in her tutoring strategies so the student does not feel lectured. It has been a fascinating experience watching our college student (sophomore) build confidence, and develop full accountability for his work: we saw him spend more time reflecting on his own study plans. She is accountable, reliable and non-judgmental. The tutoring and support Dian provides are equivalent to a private professor, but her humidly and sense of accountability makes her a true partner who is fully part of the student’s journey. Excellent experience, we hope to see our son partner with her again soon. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your very kind words. I loved working with your son and I would love to work with him again if he takes another statistics course.

Knowledge, prepared, great teacher

Dian was a terrific tutor. She worked with me in Statistics! She always asked me in advance for my course materials so she could prepare before my lesson I really appreciate all her help.

Excellent Tutor!

My daughter was failing her AP stats class and needed some serious help fast. Dian met with her over the past 5 weeks and her grades went from D's and F's to A's and B's. I am so impressed with how well Dian was able to guide her. I would highly recommend Dian to anyone that needs help in this subject. She really knows her stuff!
