My name is Diana Stapleton. I am a New York State dual certified teacher. I'm permanently certified to teach Elementary Education, grades N-6, and English as a Second Language to grades N-12, as well as to adults. I received my B.S. degree in Elementary Education from SUNY Oneonta, where I minored in Spanish. I received my M.S. degree in ESL Education from Mercy College in 1999. I have been teaching and tutoring for years and have worked with a wide variety of grades, levels, and ages. Why choose me? Not only do I have wonderful teaching credentials, but I truly believe that I'm a naturally gifted teacher. Everyone has his or her own unique learning style. I am able to tap into what your learning style is and to teach in a flexible manner in order to ensure that you succeed. I am a very experienced, dedicated, and caring professional and am very passionate about teaching. I truly care about my students and will work very hard to help you or your child to succeed! I find it very rewarding when I help my students. I look forward to working with you very soon!
