Son needed a 5 in English. Got a 6. Job done.
Son chose GCSE Latin and was really struggling with the grammar and unseen translation. His tutor went back to basics with the declensions and verb patterns and built things back up from there. He is predicted a 7 having been getting 4s. Really glad we found the right tutor for it.
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.
Daughter was retelling stories in essays rather than analysing them. Very common problem apparently. Tutor was excellent at teaching how to structure analysis properly. School marked work has improved from Cs to As. Really happy.
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.
Son did not get the grade he needed in GCSE maths first time. Found Daresne for the resit and he passed with a grade 5. Tutor was very focused on areas he had specifically struggled with rather than starting from scratch. Very efficient approach and it worked.
Michael so pleased to hear this! Passing a resit takes a lot of determination and your son should be really proud. The Daresne Team
Daughter got a 7 in maths and a 6 in English which were the grades she needed for her sixth form place. Started Daresne in January and had about 3 sessions a fortnight across both subjects. Good value for what we got. Would definitely use again for A levels.
Son in Year 10 doing GCSE maths a year early. Needed extra support to keep up with the pace. Daresne has been really helpful. Tutor is very good at identifying exactly where the gaps are rather than wasting time on things he already knows. He has passed all in-school assessments so far.
