Personal Description:

I am a qualified Primary school teacher with over 15 years teaching experience. I qualified, and taught, in England for a year and then moved back to Inverness where I have been teaching for 15 years.
****** UPDATE ***** I plan on running a summer program for Maths and English. The plan is for the English to be a book study aimed at ages 12-14 and the Maths program will focus on problem solving. Group sizes will be by level and be no larger than four in any group. This will be a great opportunity to boost skills, develop confidence and improve understanding and motivation.

I no longer have evening slots for new 1:1 students - however I do have space for those who can come during school hours on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

Tutoring Experience:

Over 15 years teaching experience - and still going.
I have been a support for learning teacher for over a year. I work part time in school and tutor part time.
I currently tutor children and adult learners - ranging from early level all the way up to National 5+.

Tutoring Approach:

I tutor from my home so that the learner is in a friendly, relaxed environment.
During our first couple of sessions I will fully assess where the learner is in their understanding, where their strengths and pressures are plus assess their preferred learning style. Assessment will be continuous as we progress and tutoring will be matched to the learners needs. I gather evidence of where the learner is and we work out the next steps together so that they can see the progress that they are making.
The impact of 1:1 tutoring can make a big difference.

From Tiffany (5/5): (GCSE Maths)

From Roslyn (5/5): (Primary Maths) My son has now had 2 tutoring sessions with Dianne. I can't believe how enthusiastic he is about the learning especially when he did not want a tutor. This is all to the credit of Dianne who has already recognised the learning technique that is best suited to my autistic son. He is much more confident in his ability. Looking foward to seeing the continuing benefits of the sessions. Thank you Dianne.

Reply from Dianne: Thank you for your kind words. Your son is a pleasure to tutor. I am so proud for him. He is delighted with the progress he is making.

From Evie (5/5): (Primary Maths) Very happy with how Charlie's first session went. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, looking forward to seeing the progress I'm sure Charlie will make with Dianne.

Reply from Dianne: It was lovely meeting yourself and Charlie. He has such a great attitude. He showed such potential. I am looking forward to working with him and helping him make those connections.

From Finlay (5/5): (Primary Maths) Initial meeting went very well. Dianne made my son very welcome, she was friendly and encouraging and took the time to get to know him and his learning style. He left his first session feeling good about himself and maths. Thank you so much. We will most definitely continue.

Reply from Dianne: It was fantastic meeting your son. I look forward to working with him.
