My son was finding Leaving Cert physics really abstract. His Daresne tutor focused on worked examples and connecting theory to real applications. The content started making intuitive sense for the first time. He went from H5 to H2 in his school assessments in six months.
My son needed a high grade in Leaving Cert English for his journalism course. He was getting H3s and H4s on his essays. His Daresne tutor worked on his comparative and unseen poetry specifically - the two areas where he was losing marks. He got an H1. He is going to his first choice course. I am incredibly proud of him.
This is such wonderful news! An H1 in English is a brilliant achievement. Your son should be so proud. Enjoy the journalism course! The Daresne Team
Highly recommend. My son improved in Leaving Cert biology and enjoyed the sessions. His tutor is brilliant.
My daughter found organic chemistry in A level really hard to follow - mechanisms, reaction conditions, functional groups. Her Daresne tutor used a systematic approach to mechanisms and showed her how to follow the electron movement logically rather than memorising each reaction. Everything clicked at once. Predicted an A. Twelve sessions a month for about ten months.
Solid and reliable. Daresne is not flashy but it works. My daughter has been improving steadily in Leaving Cert biology for five months and her tutor shows up, is prepared, and knows the subject. That is all I ask for.
Turned things around for my daughter. She was really struggling with Leaving Cert chemistry and her tutor has sorted it out. Predicted H3 now.
My daughter could remember historical facts but her source analysis and extended answer questions were weak. Her tutor worked on exam technique specifically - how to answer what the question is actually asking. She went from a 3 to a predicted 8 in about eight months. Really excellent tutor.
My son found the Irish oral component of Junior Cert really daunting. His Daresne tutor did practice oral sessions every week - structured conversations, prepared topics, handling unexpected questions. He went into the actual oral far calmer than any of his mock attempts. He passed. The preparation made all the difference.
