I have worked with Diana under the Global Eco-labeling Network. She has a good grasp of eco-labeling issues and I found hr very resourceful.

As a former student of hers, I highly recommend Diana Cartwright- she is one of the best English teachers I have ever had during my university life. With her proactive and passionate attitude, Diana is able to deliver interesting and useful lectures to her students. In my class, she encouraged students to ask questions and to think independently through group discussions and individual presentations. Moreover, Diana has very innovative way to test her students at the end of a semester. For example, once she created several groups and asked each one to perform a short drama in English. Students enjoyed the idea so much that they spent weeks discussing the dialogues and episodes in great detail. The performance was a huge success in which students learned a great deal about team work and gained unforgettable experiences. Last but not least, Diana loves to keep in touch with her students even after teaching them and is always ready to help them if they encounter any English difficulties.
