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.
Son was struggling across all three sciences. We focused on biology first with Daresne and within a few months his confidence had grown enough that he started approaching chemistry and physics differently too. He got a 6 in his biology mock which he was really proud of. Tutor made it feel manageable when it had felt overwhelming.
This time last year daughter was getting 4s in English language and was disheartened. Started Daresne in January and she got a 7 in her mock in November. Improvement in her writing is really visible. She now actually enjoys writing which I never thought I would say. Tutor has been incredibly patient and encouraging.
Claire what a brilliant result! A 4 to a 7 is a huge jump and your daughter should be incredibly proud. Thank you for sharing this. The Daresne Team
Daughter had a really negative attitude toward maths after a difficult yr8. By yr10 she had basically given up on getting anything decent at GCSE. Tutor spent time rebuilding her confidence before even getting into exam technique. She is now predicted a 6 and does her maths homework without being asked.
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
Really hard to find good Arabic tutors in the UK and Daresne came through. Tutor was brilliant and understood the specific requirements of the GCSE syllabus. Daughter improved massively in written Arabic and reading comprehension. We will use Daresne for A level Arabic next year as well.
Son was really struggling with the programming elements of GCSE computer science. Tutor made Python make sense to him which was what we needed. He now actually enjoys coding. His teacher at school said his programming work has improved significantly. Positive experience overall.
