I have been attending conversation practice lessons with Diana for the last 3 years, once every 1 or 2 weeks to supplement my formal classroom lessons. I originally sought Diana as I am a Malaysian-Chinese diaspora. When I first started, I could barely speak a sentence without getting stuck. Now, I am able to maintain conversations for an hour with Diana on a wide range of topics such as parenthood, hobbies, society and culture. Despite me rarely doing my homework, Diana’s patience and encouragement keeps every lesson enjoyable, and I leave with some new vocabulary every week.

Mrs. Diana is incredibly warm and patient, a quality that has made her classes a favorite among my kid. Her enthusiasm and approachability create a welcoming learning environment where kids feel encouraged and supported. It's clear she puts a lot of thought and care into her teaching methods, making each lesson not only educational but also engaging and fun for the little ones. This level of dedication is what sets her apart and why she's so appreciated by both parents and students alike.

This is my first lesson with her, at the beginning I feel pressure & nervous because she show a strict personality but along the lesson I feel better, event though I making a lots of mistakes, she keep review it and do the correction. From my view, she a good teacher & I like her teaching style even though I feel struggle on the first place.
