Diana, I have sat staring at my screen three times trying to write thank you for giving me the opportunity to guest blog. I am overwhelmed at the responses. By the way, your editing lessons are amazing. You have a gift in teaching that is rare. I learned more from you on writing during this exercise than in high school, college, and law school combined.

My daughter and I spent many hours with the incredible Diana Ha working on college essays. Diana helped in ways we didn’t know we needed. From drawing out ideas to helping my daughter find her voice in expressing what she wanted to say, Diana’s expertise and devotion were unmatched. We learned so much. I cannot recommend working with Diana enough!

I absolutely loved working with Diana!! She not only helped me raise my SAT reading score with tricks, but she completely transformed my college essays to something beyond powerful and perfection. Diana was incredibly fun to work with, and her advice was always sharp, clear, and genuinely super helpful. She made sure I fully understood every important aspect of writing, from structure to voice.
You have had an incredible impact on my life, Diana. Your support and patience meant more to me than I can say, and I will forever carry what I have learned from you. Thank you so so much!!

Diana’s two-hour writing workshop was a gold mine. She did the multum non multa, much not many. By going in-depth on one of the core problems of writing and carefully helping students to understand why these are the death knell in content and style, Diana was able to help both teachers and students alike understand not just the power of verbs but of words to inspire and move people. And just as effective as what she teaches is how she does it. As a seasoned teacher, both in public school and homeschool, she interacts with her audience in a way that motivates them and helps them to see the same content from a whole new perspective. I highly recommend her writing workshops.

I began taking lessons with Diana to improve my conversation skills and pronunciation. From the very first lesson, Diana captured my issues accurately and defined tailored, actionable procedures to address them — a marked difference in what I got from a previous instructor.
What sets Diana apart is the unique insights other English teachers don’t have. Her knowledge base and mastery of English are exceptional, and she has a keen ability to observe and diagnose my specific challenges. I highly recommend Diana as an English instructor or coach for anyone looking to improve their language proficiency or any aspect of English.

I had the privilege of taking part in a writing workshop that Diana led at a district literacy conference. I thoroughly enjoyed working through the content. As an intermediate school English teacher, I continue to use the insights I gained from her that day, including a mnemonic for the parts of speech that has remained a student favorite!

I sought out Diana for help with my application essay for a doctoral program and got way more than I’d expected. She guided me in the revisions, knowing where they needed both depth and cutting. Diana brought the essay to life by walking me through some introspection and drawing out insights. She was respectful and conscientious throughout.
