I want to help. Especially those who appreciate help. Teaching at a residential treatment facility is an excellent example of how I worked towards meeting this goal.My teaching philosophy is basically the Socratic method. Among its many benefits, this method makes it easy to engage with students. I also like to stress understanding. I remember the 1973 movie, "The Paper Chase", and the memorable performance by John Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield. I always thought that portrayal, in terms of teaching style, was something I admired, and I used that memory as a guide, as I strived to develop my style. However, where he was strict, I am not. I believe in relaxing some restrictions to meet the needs of my students, so long as I maintain fairness. And, where he was stern and stoic, I am flexible and I teach with levity.

My name is Diana and I fell in love with math and science about ten years ago; that plus becoming the biggest fan of Tony Stark (Iron Man) led me to become an engineer and I haven't looked back since! I tutored when I was an undergraduate in college for college level physics and calculus. I've always enjoyed teaching and tutoring whether it's by helping a student step by step or helping them to come up with a creative solution. Now, as a professional I participate in STEM outreach programs to advocate for students from underrepresented demographics to pursue engineering. I take pride in my education and career, which is why it's important to me to be able to share my passion with others.

I'm a graduate Mechanical Engineer from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It wasn't all smooth sailing. My years at grade school and high school were really difficult for me. The mediocre school system in my town left me woefully unprepared for college. I had to put in an intensive year and a summer at a private school, catching up to my peers. The hardest task was learning to study. After a couple of years as an English major, I changed to my true love, Engineering. That's when I discovered that my photographic memory sometimes played tricks on me, which made it hard to get the right answers. I want to save my students from the agony of unnecessary failure.While employed as a machine tool builder, I learned that high-school and middle-school children in town were interested in radio and electronics. We promptly formed a club, cannibalizing old TV sets for parts. I helped guide these energetic kids to earn their amateur radio licenses. We had a great time getting on the air, sometimes from campsites with portable power. What they learned about math, electronics, and physics gave them a big head start when they hit similar courses in school.I was active in the Navy Reserves for more than 23 years, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer Cryptologic Technician. The Navy gave me valuable insight into teaching a wide range of students. Many needed assistance in math in order to master military and technical subjects. I helped them with that.I have held an Amateur Radio License since 1955, am now an Extra Class Licensee, and an accredited Instructor and Volunteer Examiner with the ARRL. While teaching licensing classes, I was amazed to discover that many smart people had forgotten basic math. I try to correct that, encouraging my students to understand and attempt the simpler mathematical operations. It must have worked - almost all of my students have become licensed.My early interests in photography, canoeing, camping, and hiking have now been supplanted by my love of computers. I have built many computers and done innumerable installations and configurations. I'm currently experimenting with micro-computers and their application to Amateur Radio and emergency operations.My teaching philosophy wants to encourage the "Why", not just the "How" of the subject. Understanding is lots more fun than just turning the crank. I seek an alternate path to understanding if the student finds the first approach difficult. I once read: there are several ways to get on the other side of a stone wall: Climb over, crawl under, or go around. You could even use my favorite approach: Take it apart, go through the hole!My job is to help you conquer that wall.

I achieved my undergraduate degree in mathematics from the University of Connecticut. Soon afterward, I left the US to teach mathematics, physics, and science to island peoples on remote islands in the Pacific Ocean area known as Micronesia. From there, I travelled to Africa and taught mathematics of all levels, grades 6 to 12, under the British international curriculum at an international school in central Tanzania. I then shifted back the US to teach at a high school in Massachusetts near to where I grew up, while completing my master's degree in mathematics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. My latest, and perhaps my last, international adventure has been the last few years living in the capital of Ethiopia, teaching the International Baccalaureate curriculum at an international school in Addis Ababa. Between my teaching, I tutor students of all levels, most often in preparation for standardized tests, like the IGCSE, A-levels, SATs, and the IB, among others. When I was not involving myself in education, I was DJing at festivals and events in and around the towns or cities where I was residing at the time.

My job is to become unemployed. I want my students to eventually learn and grow without needing me. My goal isn't just to help students master material - it's to teach them how to learn, how to think independently, and how to build confidence in their own problem-solving abilities. I've taught and mentored students across a wide range of subjects - from middle school math and SAT prep to calculus, finance, and investments. My experience spans middle schoolers, high school and college students, as well as informal mentorship of peers and younger professionals navigating academic or career goals. Outside the classroom, I've worked in accounting and as a business analyst at a renewable energy investment firm, giving me firsthand insight into how academic concepts and core skills translate into real-world value. Whether we're breaking down functions, prepping for standardized tests, or unpacking financial topics (I'm FINRA Series 66, Series 63 & SIE certified), I focus on demystifying complexity and making learning approachable. With the right approach, I believe even calculus can be taught to a middle schooler.
