English A level, from a D to an A in one academic year

Daughter got a D in her AS English and we were worried about her A level grade. Her Daresne tutor completely changed how she approaches unseen texts and essay structure. By the end of the year she was getting As consistently in school. She sat her final exams last month and we are quietly confident.

Year 4 English, reading comprehension has really improved

Daughter was struggling with reading comprehension in Year 4 and falling behind her class. Her tutor made sessions feel more like reading together than a lesson which helped her relax into it. Her comprehension scores at school have improved noticeably. She actually asks to read now which she never did before.

Son has dyslexia, tutor was fantastic with him

Son has dyslexia and has always found English very difficult. Tutor used approaches that work better for dyslexic learners. He has made more progress in the last six months than in the previous two years. His confidence has also improved a lot which is probably the most important thing.

English and maths both improved, brilliant service

Using Daresne for son for both GCSE English and maths. Both tutors have been excellent and he has improved significantly in both subjects. The matching process is clearly very thorough because both tutors have been a perfect fit for his learning style. Would recommend without hesitation.

Excellent preparation for Year 7 transition

Son was anxious about the transition to secondary school. Wanted to make sure he was solid in maths and English going in. Daresne tutors were brilliant at targeting exactly the things he would need for Year 7. He started secondary school feeling confident and has settled in really well.

National 5 English, daughter went from a 4 to a 6

Daughter was really struggling with National 5 English in Scotland. Tutor was brilliant at close reading techniques and critical essay writing. She went from getting low marks to passing with a 6 in her prelim. Tutor understood the Scottish curriculum really well.
