What do parents say about me
If you scroll down I have all my Five Star Reviews from First Tutors
Marc:
We highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for an exceptional tutor for their child. Diane supported our daughter, Millie, for three and a half years through both her GCSEs and A-levels. Thanks to her kind help, Millie blossomed in Chemistry and Biology, easily securing her required GCSE grades and building the confidence to pursue these subjects at a higher level. Millie just completed her A-levels in June 2026 and feels incredibly confident about achieving the results needed to study Optometry at university.
Diane is extremely organized, provides fantastic supporting materials, and communicates in a way that is highly accessible. She doesn't just teach; she coaches students to exceed their own expectations and unlock their true potential. Diane is a truly special educator and a wonderful person to work with. She made a challenging academic period much easier and was worth every penny of the investment in our daughter's education.
Ping:
Elsa received her GCSE results today. We truly believe that your dedicated guidance, encouragement, and support played an important role in her achievement. We are very grateful for the time, effort, and patience you have given to her. Your teaching has not only improved her knowledge but also boosted her confidence. Thank you once again for your commitment and for inspiring Elsa throughout this journey.
Jenny:
Diane is very knowledgeable, organised and always quick to respond. In short everything that's required of a tutor. I am glad of her support.
Reshma:
Hi Diane,I want to thank so so much for tutoring and helping me when I was confused by my subjects. You helped me to achieve an A in biology and chemistry so I am able to study medicine
Geoff:
Jenny is finding the time you spend with her both enjoyable and enlightening, more so than her school Biology lessons, so once again thank you

Kate :
"Diane is really helping my daughter to extend and deepen her understanding of A level biology and chemistry. She provides extremely useful feedback, resources, past paper questions and marks work very quickly. I would recommend her as a tutor unreservedly.",
Claire:
”Diane is excellent and my daughter is delighted. Diane is everything you could wish for in an A level biology tutor. Thank you so much.",
Alison:
"Diane is a first rate tutor. She has made an enormous difference to our son and he really looks forwards to lessons as they are clear, organised and so well taught. Diane really cares and has professional pride in making a difference. We cannot fault her and would highly recommend her to any family. She goes the extra mile and you feel that your money is very well spent on first class tuition.",
Dawn:
"Thank you, Diane, for all your help - we all really appreciate your support, and it's been such a gift to be able to get in touch, even outside of the sessions, with any areas of learning that feel tricky or need extra clarification.",
Luisa:
"Diane is kind and an excellent tutor. She is meticulous in helping my daughter with improving her exam techniques. My daughter’s confidence has improved.",
Yolande:
"Diane has been a wonderful support for my daughter who is studying for an Access Diploma in Science (both Biology and Chemistry Level 3). She has a calm and organised approach, and asks the right questions my daughter says, quickly identifying problems. Diane goes above and beyond by carefully researching and sharing relevant reading resources and weblinks and is available for my daughter if she has questions during the rest of the week. She is a perfect match for my daughter and is highly professional.",
Katherine:
"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.",
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. \n\nDiane - we will always be greatful to you.",
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",
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.",
Vassalis :
"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",
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.",
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.",
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.",
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!",
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.\n\nShe 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.\n\nOverall, Diane was superb and I highly recommend her as a tutor”

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.",
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.",
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.",
