you can also take a look at the document I use when teaching 
VPN-classes. I created this document because some students don't believe 
that it is possible to get the shared secret or some even think that 
"Diffie-Hellmann-Exchange" means that the actual shared secret is 
exchanged between Alice and Bob. It doesn't contain the "why does it 
work" (I only talk about that if the students are interested to hear 
that) but shows an example-calculation.

(this website is mainly in german, but the dh-document is also available 
in english)
