About Diya
Hi! I’m Diya, a law student at Queen Mary University of London, multilingual tutor, and passionate communicator who loves helping students build confidence in English.
I know learning a language can sometimes feel intimidating, especially when you’re worried about making mistakes or speaking confidently. That’s why my lessons are designed to feel supportive, encouraging, interactive, and completely tailored to you. I genuinely believe students learn best when they feel comfortable, understood, and motivated.
I teach students of all ages and levels, from primary school English to GCSE English, A-Level English Language, and International A-Level English Language, which is one of my particular areas of specialisation. I also teach conversational English, public speaking, and confidence-building for international students and adult learners.
Academically, I achieved an A in International A-Level English Language and received recognition as an Asia-Pacific topper in English. I have also received several academic and extracurricular awards at community and national level throughout my education.
Alongside my academic background, I have experience mentoring and teaching students from primary school to university level, including tutoring experience in the UAE. As someone who speaks English, Malayalam, Hindi, French, Kannada, and basic Arabic, I understand the challenges of learning and communicating in different languages, which helps me connect with students from diverse backgrounds.
Whether your goal is improving grades, becoming more fluent, preparing for exams, improving speaking confidence, or simply feeling more comfortable communicating in English, I will adapt lessons to suit your learning style and help you achieve your goals step by step.
I also offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can discuss your goals, learning style, and make sure we’re a good fit. I’m very excited to learn and grow together, and I would love to support you on your journey!

My teaching approach is friendly, supportive, interactive, and fully adapted to each student’s needs and learning style. I believe the best way to learn English is by making students feel comfortable, encouraged, and confident enough to express themselves without fear of making mistakes. I focus on creating a relaxed environment where students can improve naturally while still making strong academic progress.
I teach:
• Primary school English
• GCSE English
• International A-Level English Language
• Conversational English
• Public speaking and presentation skills
• English speaking confidence for international students and beginners
As someone who is multilingual myself, I understand how challenging learning and speaking a new language can feel. I speak English, Malayalam, Hindi, French, Kannada, and basic Arabic, so even students who are not fully confident in English can feel comfortable learning with me.
My lessons are usually 1 hour long, though this can be adapted depending on the student’s age and goals. I tailor every lesson specifically to the student, making sure we create a learning programme that genuinely works for you and your goals.
I use a combination of:
• conversation practice
• grammar support
• exam preparation
• vocabulary building
• reading and writing exercises
• confidence-building activities
• public speaking techniques
I am currently a law student at Queen Mary University of London and the incoming President of the Students’ Union. Academically, I achieved top grades throughout school, was consistently ranked in the top 5 students for multiple years, won several academic Olympiads, and was an Asia-Pacific topper in International Advanced Subsidiary English Language. I also achieved an A in International A-Level English Language.
I have experience teaching and mentoring students from primary school to university level, including tutoring experience in the UAE. I especially enjoy helping students become more confident, expressive, and comfortable communicating in English.
My lessons are suitable for children, teenagers, university students, international students, and adult learners looking to improve their English skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.
I also offer a free 30-minute initial consultation so we can get to know each other, discuss your goals, and see if we would work well together. I’m very confident that together we can learn, grow, and help you achieve your goals.

Diya is a great teacher. She breaks down topics really clearly, gives helpful feedback, and is also a really friendly cheerful person. I had a lovely experience learning from her.
Diya is an amazing teacher who is incredibly patient and makes concepts very easy to understand. She really puts in the effort to understand her students’ weaknesses and helps them improve with confidence. She taught my cousin, who was struggling with English, and helped her improve her A-Level grade from B to an A*. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and dedicated tutor.
I have known Diya through sister, whom she has been teaching English for quite some time now. From the beginning, I was impressed by how patient, supportive and encouraging she is with her students. She has a very friendly approach that makes learning comfortable and enjoyable.
What I appreciate most about her teaching methods is the way she explains concepts clearly and adapts to the student’s pace. She focuses not only on grammar and vocabulary but also on building confidence in speaking and communication.
One experience that really stood out to me was seeing how dedicated she was during exam preparation. She took extra effort to help my sister practice and do well in her exams. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her student’s progress.
I would highly recommend Diya to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled and motivating English tutor. She is passionate about teaching and creates a positive learning environment for her students.Diya is such a kind, patient, and encouraging tutor. She makes learning feel a lot less intimidating and always creates a comfortable environment where students feel confident to ask questions and improve. I improved massively after learning with her, and not only reached my goals but actually achieved a better grade than I had hoped for. She’s especially great at helping with English speaking confidence and explaining things in a clear, supportive way. I’d definitely recommend learning with her!
