Daughter is yr9 and we wanted to get ahead before GCSEs. Maths sessions have been really good. Tutor sends a short message after each one saying what they covered and what to look at before next time which I really like, keeps things on track. She has started asking for extra sessions which says everything.
My son needed combined science and Spanish at a 5 or his college course would not take him. School had more or less given up on him getting there. We started in January, 8 sessions a month across both subjects. Combined science came back as a 6. Spanish a 6. His college tutor has already said he is one of the better prepared students in his group. That was not something I expected to hear.
Oliver exceeding expectations in two subjects is a fantastic outcome. Your son should be really proud of himself. Enjoy college! The Daresne Team
Signed up after daughters Year 10 French assessment came back really poorly and teacher said speaking needed serious work. Improvement has been massive. She has a predicted 7 and is actually comfortable speaking now which was not the case before. Tutor does a lot of roleplay practice which felt awkward at first but clearly works.
My mum always does these so I wanted to write it myself because student reviews are probably more useful. Doing A level biology and chemistry. My tutor is really good, she doesnt just read stuff at you she actually explains why things work which makes it stick. I used to find biology boring and now its my favourite subject. Bit mad really. Worth it.
Chloe thank you so much for writing this yourself, it means a lot to us and to your tutor. Good luck with the exams! The Daresne Team
Two children using Daresne. One doing GCSE maths, other A level economics. Both are getting better. Economics tutor is particularly strong, uses real world examples rather than just the textbook which suits my son much better. Its not the cheapest option but the quality is there. Happy with it overall.
Maths grade went up two levels. Enough said.
Daughter was really struggling to write analytical essays in history. Her school teacher actually commented unprompted that her work had improved since October. We started with Daresne in September. Tutor is excellent at helping her understand what examiners want and how to structure arguments properly.
My son had always found verbal reasoning difficult. Six months of prep with Daresne and he passed for both schools he sat. Tutor was brilliant at keeping him motivated and not stressed which was half the battle. Would recommend to anyone doing 11+ prep.
Kevin this is such great news! Your son worked incredibly hard and it showed. Wishing him all the best at his new school. The Daresne Team
