Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 19 Jul 2021Interest topicWriting
I am a qualified and highly experienced teacher of English as a second or foreign language. I have been teaching for 25 years. I have a Master of Applied Linguistics majoring in Teaching English as a Second or Other Language (TESOL), a Bachelor of Arts majoring in linguistics and Italian, and a CELTA from Cam-bridge Assessment. I have a solid understanding of the Common European framework of Reference, also known as CEFR, which measures speakers' proficiency on a scale from A1 to C2. My knowledge comes from both my studies in the field of language teaching and assessment and my multiple years of experience teaching and assessing.Ik als leerkracht
I teach general and academic English at all levels and ages. I am also specialised in exam preparation. I prepare candidates for IELTS; and Cambridge CPE (Proficiency), CAE (Advanced), FCE (First), PET (Preliminary) & KET (Key); and Pearson PTE Academic. I teach pronunciation, communication skills, grammar, informal and formal writing skills, including academic writing, and much more...Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Each lesson is student centred, so the student actively participates. I find it most effective to practice a structure as much as possible until the student internalises it successfully.
I listen to each individual's needs and address these needs through careful and thoughtful lesson planning.
I use a range of materials from course books to realia. I give in-depth explanations if the student finds it interesting. This always leads to a better understanding of English and better use!Mijn lesmateriaal

Diana is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend studying with her whatever your goal is. She helped me to achieve higher IELTS score, but what is more important – to understand English better, and to improve my level of the language proficiency.
Diana is a professional who sees weak spots right away and knows exactly how to address them in an easy to understand and encouraging manner. She is thorough and attentive to details. She is a teacher who cares, so you’ll see the results in no time!
I’ve learned a lot during this time; thank you Diana for your work and patience! ☺️💐

Diana is a highly professional English teacher. I appreciate the prompt feedback. She has a detailed, customised plan for me. She puts in a lot of effort to ensure the course's quality. I am so lucky to have her as my teacher on my English learning journey. I wish I had enrolled in her course earlier.

Diana is a super professional and kind teacher that I have never met before. She is so hardworking on lesson preparation and explain with professional knowledge which many teacher may lack. She also voluntarily gave me another 15 mins to explain my quesions. All in all, she is a terrific teacher!
