Real reviews from UK parents who chose Daresne
Honest reviews from UK parents who chose Daresne for GCSE, A-Level and 11+ online tutoring. Every word posted exactly as written.
We signed up for the annual plan because committing to it felt like the only way my son would take it seriously. He did. Fourteen months in with Tom and the difference is night and day. He actually corrects his dad at the dinner table now when we talk about anything number related. Grade 7 predicted. School cannot believe it. Neither can we.
Karen this is such brilliant progress, thank you for sharing it. Tom will be delighted to hear this. Good luck to your son in the exams!

People assumed she would sail through GCSE French because she speaks it at home. She did not. Home French and GCSE French are completely different things and her school never addressed that. Claire got it immediately. Eight lessons in and the written work looked completely different. We do 8 sessions a month and will probably carry on into A level if she picks it.
Son needed biology chemistry and physics covered. I was worried about coordinating three people but Daresne made it easy. We do 16 sessions a month split across the three subjects. None of them cover the same ground twice. He is predicted 7s across the board. Better than I expected honestly.
Michael this is fantastic news, three subjects improved is a brilliant outcome. Your son has worked incredibly hard and it shows. The Daresne Team
My daughter came home one afternoon and said she was done with Spanish. Her school agreed it might be the sensible option. I said try one month of outside help first. That was eight months ago. I have no idea what her tutor does in those sessions but she walks out of them cheerful which she never did from school Spanish. Predicted an 8. We do 8 sessions a month which suits her pace.
After he failed we had a few months of him doing nothing because he was ashamed of it. Eventually we found Ben at Daresne. Ben was completely unbothered about the failure, just wanted to get on with it. Six months of twice weekly sessions. He passed his resit with a 5. He is now at college doing construction which needed that pass. He would not be there without Daresne.
Andrew passing the resit is such a big deal and your son should be incredibly proud of himself. Ben will be thrilled. Good luck with college! The Daresne Team
We started in Year 9 on the two year plan because we could see chemistry was going to be the problem subject. She failed every mock in Year 9. Something shifted partway through Year 10. Her written explanations got much better according to her teacher. Predicted a 6 now. Her school were surprised. We were over the moon.
He finds languages hard and always has. Isabelle was the first tutor who did not just throw more vocabulary at him. She changed how he approached the reading and listening comprehension papers. Seven months later he got a merit in his mock. His attitude to the subject has changed too which matters more to me than the grade.
We did 8 sessions a month for a full year. We found that pace let her actually absorb things between sessions. Her tutor never pushed for more either. Predicted a 6 up from a 4. More importantly she does not cry about maths homework anymore. That has been the biggest change in our house.
