    Hello! My name is Diane Thompson. I am originally from Clearfield, PA where I spent 1 year in long-term and day-to-day substitute teacher positions. After deciding to move to Pittsburgh, I applied for Sylvan Learning where I have spent the last two years. Alongside tutoring, I have continued substituting in long-term and day-to-day teaching positions in Allegheny County.
