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
Excellent. My daughter enjoys her sessions and Junior Cert geography has improved significantly. Really glad we signed up.
Thank you Emma. My daughter loves her sessions and Leaving Cert chemistry is in a much better place.
Started preparing my daughter for year 6 SATs with Daresne in January. The tutor was really good at keeping it light and not making it feel like extra school. She sailed through the SATs and got the top score in her year. We have now signed her up for year 7 maths to keep the momentum going.
Really good. My daughter went from dreading Junior Cert science to actually looking forward to it. The change in attitude has been the biggest thing.
Non-verbal reasoning was holding my son back on practice papers. His tutor spent the first month almost entirely on this. By month three his non-verbal scores were the strongest part of his paper. He passed the 11+. Could not be more pleased with the result. Eight sessions a month for seven months.
Delighted. Son went from failing to a predicted 6. Eight months on twelve sessions a month. Brilliant.
Tutoring itself is fine, son is getting better at GCSE physics and tutor knows the subject well. My frustration is the admin side. Rescheduling was a faff and I sent an email that didnt get a reply for nearly 4 days. Not bad enough to leave but worth knowing. Teaching is solid though.
Tom, thanks for flagging this. Four days for an email is not good enough and we are sorry. We have made changes to how we handle messages. Glad the sessions are going well for your son. The Daresne Team
