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.
First two sessions felt a bit disorganised and I nearly cancelled. But from session three onwards it clicked and my daughter improved a lot in biology. Predicted a 6 now from a 3. Took a bit of patience to get going but the result speaks for itself.
Deborah thank you for sticking with it and for the honest feedback on the start. Really glad it came together. The Daresne Team
First couple of sessions werent great if im honest. Daughter wasnt engaging and I wasnt sure it was worth continuing. Messaged Daresne and they changed approach quickly. After that it was a lot better. She actually enjoys English now so cant complain. Would have given 5 stars except for the slow start. Good communication from the team overall.
Thanks Sophie, really appreciate the honest feedback. Sorry the start was slow and glad we could sort it. Please reach out any time if anything isnt working. The Daresne Team
Son could talk about books fine but written answers were all over the place. Tutor has been good at getting him to structure arguments and use quotes properly. He is not a natural writer so progress has been gradual but real. Would give 5 stars but we had to change tutors once early on which was disruptive. Got sorted but worth mentioning.
The tutor himself has been excellent with my son for A level chemistry. Knowledgeable, patient and clearly experienced. The platform side of things could be smoother — booking and rescheduling is a bit clunky. Four stars for the experience overall, five for the tutor specifically.
Neil really appreciate this feedback on the platform — we are actively working on improving the booking experience. Glad the chemistry sessions have been going well. The Daresne Team
Quality of teaching has been really high and son has gone from a 4 to a predicted 6. Only reason not 5 stars is the first few weeks had scheduling confusion and a session was missed without warning. Got sorted and since then has been really smooth. Would still recommend.
Thank you for the honest review Patrick. The early scheduling issue was not acceptable and we are sorry. Really glad things improved and well done to your son. The Daresne Team
We started in September expecting to see results by Christmas. It took until February before her maths really started to improve. Her tutor is good and my daughter likes her but I think we had unrealistic expectations of how quickly it would happen. She is predicted a 6 now from a 4 so we are happy overall.
Son doing GCSE chemistry and has gone from a 4 to a 6 since January. Tutor explains clearly and is patient. Had one or two sessions where internet connection caused problems which was frustrating but probably just bad luck. Overall happy with the progress.
We had one tutor change early on which was slightly disruptive but Daresne sorted it quickly and without any fuss. The second tutor has been really solid for National 5 maths. Son is predicted a B. Would have been five stars without the initial change but four is still a strong recommendation.
Stuart sorry for the disruption with the initial tutor change — we are glad it got resolved quickly and that the sessions have been going well since. The Daresne Team
