We couldn’t have asked more from a tutor. Diane tutored my daughter for GCSE combined science and son for A level Biology. The difference she made to both their grades was incredible and has opened doors in both their lives. Diane was always approachable, available and did work outside of lessons to make the most of the teaching time. There wasn’t a lesson where the children complained about the extra lessons as they progressed, gained confidence and saw their grades improving. We can’t recommend Diane enough.
From Socratis
Diane, tutored our son for all 3 sciences for 2 years in the run up to GCSEs. We could not be happier with her and STRONGLY recommend her. She has been very methodical and thorough but at the same time very humane and understanding. Diane clearly has a wealth of experience which can make the difference between a good and an excellent tutor.
Diane - we will always be greatful to you.
From Marc
Diane has been tutoring our Daughter with her GCSE combined sciences and has helped her come on leaps and bounds. Diane has given her the knowledge, confidence and exam skills to achieve her potential which will allow her now to go on to study A level Chemistry and Biology. Diane has a great depth of knowledge and teaches in such a way that our daughter has been able to easily understand and grow her skills set and her own knowledge base. Diane has also helped with an extra lesson in maths each week which again has lifted our daughter’s confidence and will no doubt have helped her achieve a higher score come GCSE results day. We have already booked in with Diane for continued support with our daughters A levels as she is looking to achieve A’s to follow her chosen medical career path. I would highly recommend Diane who puts in so much work behind the scenes preparing lessons and marking homework. 10/10
From Tanya
Diane is excellent teacher, flexible and approachable. She has been tutoring my son since November and helping him in preparing for his GCSE exams. He has made a great progress in short time and gained his confidence. She really wants her students to do well and does everything she can to ensure they succeed. I highly recommend her.
Thank you or your kind feedback. I'm so glad that tuition is helping your son. It has been my pleasure to tutor him for his Chemistry, Biology and Physics GCSEs.

Excellent teacher for my 14 year old daughter. She has inspired her to enjoy Chemistry! Very organised and experienced teacher with great ability to explain concepts and teach
Thank you for your feedback, I'm so glad that your daughter is enjoying Chemistry. She is very capable and is quickly grasping the concepts, a fantastic start to her GCSE studies.
From Mona
Diane supported my twin boys in biology and chemistry, seeying them through their A levels and guiding them through their revision. She gave good lengthy explanations, was reliable, and had a quick turn around for correcting work. She put them at ease through her friendly manner and gave them confidence for sitting their exams.
From Pru
An excellent tutor who helped my daughter with sciences from GCSE through to A Levels. Supportive and able to explain the subject matter clearly and in depth. Would thoroughly recommend.
It has been my absolute pleasure to tutor Phoebe over the last few years. It's been wonderful to see her grow in confidence and gain the skill needed to succeed at the highest level. I have every confidence that she will get the grades she needs for Medical school.
From Ruth
I would not hesitate to recommend Diane. Diane has been my daughter's A level biology tutor for the past two years. Diane is professional, experienced, responsive and patient.
Hi Ruth, Many thanks for your feedback. It has been my absolute pleasure to tutor Zoe. She now has an extensive knowledge of the theory in the specification and we have built the skills so she can apply this in the exam. She has been scoring high A's and A*'s in past papers. It is now her time to shine in the real exam. Stay in touch and let me know how she gets on. Good luck for next week and for the future.
From Ritika
Diane is a fantastic, knowledgeable and encouraging tutor! With my situation being slightly different, as I was working towards completely my Biology A-level in just 1 year, Diane was an essential part in helping me achieve this. I did my exams in 2022 and I got an A in Biology which is no doubt due to all the help I’ve received from Diane! The lessons are always structured and informative and she provided me with further PPQ`s to improve my knowledge of Biology. Also whenever I`m struggling with a concept she is kind and encouraging and goes over it as many times as I need. She really helped me improve my understanding of Biology!! So if your looking for a tutor who will help you through the entire course or just for certain topics, I highly recommended Diane!
Many thanks for your kind comments Ritika. Completing A-level Biology in one year is very challenging, so achieving a grade A is an absolute credit to you for all your hard work and determination. I hope you enjoy your time at University.
From Arez
Diane is a fantastic tutor for many reasons, she has a broad understanding in biology with excellent teaching techniques and a great knowledge of the exam system which has helped my son achieve the top grades he wanted. More importantly, the study skills she instilled in my son were transferable to his other subjects.
She has an interactive teaching style that made my son feel comfortable. She is very organised and had a lot of material and homework assignments that pushed my son to get the high grade that he did.
Overall, Diane was superb and I highly recommend her as a tutor
Many thanks for your kind comments. It has been my absolute pleasure to tutor your son. With tailored tutoring I have seen his knowledge and confidence grow this year. He deserved the high grade in the results today and I was delighted to learn that he had got a place at Medical school.
From John
Excellent tutor, really helped with A level preparation, so ready for the exams. Highly recommend.
Many thanks for your kind feedback John. It has been my pleasure to tutor Andrew this year, his knowledge and understanding have dramatically improved due to his hard work and determination. I wish him every success with the results in the summer. Fingers crossed.
From Jack
Diane is a very experienced and extremely thorough tutor. She went above and beyond in terms of finding pertinent resources and extension work, and gave careful feedback on written tasks. She was always kind and friendly, but appropriately firm in following up on set tasks. We would not hesitate to recommend Diane as a Science tutor.
From Anna
My daughter found Diane's tutoring of A level Biology perfect to provide her with the skills, knowledge and confidence to achieve an A grade in the 2021 autumn resits. This was done in only 6 weeks from a B grade teacher assessment. Thank you Diane.
Thank you for your kind feedback. I'm absolutely delighted for Anna. It just shows what can be done in 6 weeks with focussed tuition and dedication. It was a step up from the Teacher Assessed Grades, to complete the specification and prepare for all three papers, so this was an exceptional improvement. Well done Anna!
From Janet
Diane is providing very tailored, supportive input for my son. I have a great deal of confidence in her.
Thank you for your kind comments Janet. It is a pleasure to tutor your son.
From Alison
Diane is a brilliant teacher who knows the specification inside out and imparts knowledge and exam technique with skill and patience. She takes particular care to ensure that my son understands the practical components of the syllabus. Diane gives very useful annotations and feedback on written homework and she recommends many additional resources to extend my son’s knowledge and interest in biology. He has thoroughly enjoyed Diane’s lessons and has grown in confidence.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. Your son has an genuine passion for the subject and it is my absolute pleasure to tutor him. If he continues as he has started with his A-Level studies I can see him succeeding with the highest of grades.

From Sue
Diane has been a brilliant GCSE Maths tutor for my daughter. She has a lovely teaching style, her lesson preparation was excellent, and she gave lots of positive and targetted feedback; she also allowed for appropriate ‘thinking time’ during the sessions. My daughter’s confidence improved hugely, as did her self-esteem and her grades. Can’t recommend Dianne highly enough.

From Bernadette
Diane was a great help to my daughter, who is doing the new A level Biology. Diane knows her subject really well and she knows how to teach it and to find gaps in students' knowledge. She explained things really clearly to my daughter, who is now much more confident about this aspect of the syllabus. We will be asking for Diane's help again in the coming months as the exam approaches.
Hi Bernadette
Thank you so much for your positive feedback.
It was a pleasure to teach Grace. I was very pleased to see her understanding grow and with that her confidence with her Biology.
Kind Regards
Diane
From Jill
A genuine and warm welcome awaited us, and by the end of the lesson a rather nervous and apprehensive son was feeling far more at ease and a plan was in place. We are most grateful, many thanks, Jill and Andrew and Mark.
From Kiran
I am currently privately studying AQA a-level biology and as my exams are approaching I just wanted to leave feedback due to her excellent method of teaching. Diane has incredible knowledge specifically on the AQA syllabus as well as biology alone. She tailors each lesson to the individual with a wide rang of resources which is applied to suit my needs. She always goes the extra mile and prepares a lot for the lessons, always bringing along past paper questions for every topic that will be covered per lesson, she brings different resources such as her own material online, relevant books and her own knowledge. Diane is a very committed tutor, who will always be prepared to mark any past papers I complete as well as responding to queries via email very quickly and with lots of explanation to assure my understanding. Her background knowledge in DNA has been extremely invaluable and has helped me to increase my confidence with the A2 topics on DNA technology as well as all other topics. Her passion for biology shines through whilst discussing topics in depth. Diane is a friendly tutor who will adapt to your preferred style of learning whilst doing it very well. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs an extra boost in biology for their exams. Thank you for everything you do Diane, I look forward to seeing you next lesson! Kiran.
From Susan
