"Hi, I'm Diyasha! I remember the time I first started tackling advanced academic writing, I felt totally lost, like the rules were locked in a secret I couldn't crack. It wasn't until a great professor patiently showed me the core structures that everything finally fell into place. That eureka moment is why I became a teacher. I believe anyone can master clear reading and confident writing; it just takes the right guidance, and that's exactly what I provide. I have recently graduated with a Master of Arts in English and my approach is all about making complex concepts, from tricky sentence structure to rhetorical analysis, feel simple, rewarding, and even fun.

At the university level, I put this into practice every day as an Instructor. For the last two years, I taught first-year writing to students from all majors, guiding them through research and composition, culminating in a challenging 2,000-word final essay. My commitment to personalized feedback and student-centered lesson plans has led to a 94% student satisfaction rating. I also have solid experience tutoring K-12 students, including those aiming for success in IB English Paper 1 and 2. My sessions use methods backed by research, like the Science of Reading, incorporating focused phonics and comprehension to deliver measurable improvements. My students and their parents consistently give me a 95% satisfaction rate.

I'm comfortable using all the necessary platforms like Canvas, Zoom, and Google Meet and I can help mentor students in everything from essay structure and research skills to professional portfolio development. I’m always happy to talk with parents and students about specific goals. I’m committed to creating a tailored learning plan that works just for you. Please feel free to reach out to me so we can schedule a time to chat!" less...
