Daughter is autistic, tutor adapted perfectly to her needs
Daughter has autism and can find new situations challenging. Was very thorough explaining her needs when we started. Tutor was clearly well briefed and adapted her style immediately. Within a few sessions daughter was comfortable and engaged. Her progress has been really good.

Mostly excellent, one small gripe
Our tutor for GCSE Spanish has been brilliant. Patient, well prepared, clearly knows the AQA spec inside out. My one gripe is that twice she had to cancel with less than 24 hours notice which was frustrating when my daughter had planned her revision around it. Four stars overall — the teaching quality is a five.

Rachel really sorry about the last-minute cancellations — that is not the standard we expect and we will follow up. Glad the overall experience has been positive. The Daresne Team

Latin GCSE, son is loving it with the right tutor
Son chose GCSE Latin but was finding the grammar very difficult. Tutor is genuinely passionate about Latin and classics and has made it come alive for him. He now says Latin is his favourite subject. His marks went from Ds to Bs. Quite remarkable.

Ancient Greek GCSE, son absolutely loves it
Son took on GCSE Ancient Greek as an extra subject and was finding the grammar extremely challenging. Tutor has a classics degree and is genuinely passionate about the subject. Son now loves ancient Greek and marks went from Ds to As. Really exceptional tutor.

GCSE French, written component went from a 3 to a 7
Son could speak French reasonably well but his written French was very poor. His tutor worked specifically on the writing tasks and how to structure them for the mark scheme. Three months later his predicted grade on the writing component has gone from a 3 to a 7.

GCSE maths prep from Year 9, now way ahead
Started GCSE maths preparation early in Year 9. At the time some people said it was too early but it has paid off enormously. Son is now in Year 11 sitting GCSE maths a year early and expected to get a strong grade. Daresne tutor has been consistent and really good throughout.

Son improved, took us a while to find the right tutor
We went through two tutors before finding one that worked for my son in maths. Both previous ones were fine but just did not click with him personally. Third time was the charm and he has been doing really well since. Would be five stars if the first match had been right. Still a solid recommendation.
