History

Established in 1979.

University Tutoring was founded in Ravenna in 1979 by a school teacher with a vision for quality and meaningful one-​to-​one tutoring relationships. UTS moved near University Village in 1985 and to its current location in 2007.

The current owner joined the staff as a tutor for the 1996 – 97 school year and returned again in 1998. Diane took ownership in 2000 with the goal of ensuring that the quality services University Tutoring has provided for so many years will continue to grow and to serve the needs of the community.

We are proud of our great reputation in the schools and community. We obtain the majority of our new students through referrals from school counselors and University Tutoring students and parents who become fans and referral sources. We appreciate that the good word about our services continues to spread through the community and schools.

She grew up in Everett, graduated from Cascade High School, and earned her BS from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma with honors in Chemistry and a minor in Math. She then completed post-​grad studies at the University of Otago through a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship in New Zealand before returning to the Northwest to complete her MS in Chemistry at UW where she also studied the History of Science with an emphasis in teaching math and science to non-​science majors. When Diane is not running University Tutoring, she may be found sporting some serious (and original) Seattle Sounders fandom, snowboarding, practicing or teaching yoga, growing food on her Olympia farm, or supporting her favorite public radio stations, KEXP and KAOS.
