Real reviews from UK parents who chose Daresne
Honest reviews from UK parents who chose Daresne for GCSE, A-Level and 11+ online tutoring. Every word posted exactly as written.
We signed up for the annual plan because committing to it felt like the only way my son would take it seriously. He did. Fourteen months in with Tom and the difference is night and day. He actually corrects his dad at the dinner table now when we talk about anything number related. Grade 7 predicted. School cannot believe it. Neither can we.
Karen this is such brilliant progress, thank you for sharing it. Tom will be delighted to hear this. Good luck to your son in the exams!

After he failed we had a few months of him doing nothing because he was ashamed of it. Eventually we found Ben at Daresne. Ben was completely unbothered about the failure, just wanted to get on with it. Six months of twice weekly sessions. He passed his resit with a 5. He is now at college doing construction which needed that pass. He would not be there without Daresne.
Andrew passing the resit is such a big deal and your son should be incredibly proud of himself. Ben will be thrilled. Good luck with college! The Daresne Team
We did 8 sessions a month for a full year. We found that pace let her actually absorb things between sessions. Her tutor never pushed for more either. Predicted a 6 up from a 4. More importantly she does not cry about maths homework anymore. That has been the biggest change in our house.
Been with Daresne nearly a year now. Daughter started yr12 really struggling with edexcel maths, getting Ds and stressing constantly. After maybe 6 or 7 weeks something shifted. Tutor explains things in a way that just clicks with her. Getting Bs now and got a C in her mock which we were so relieved about. Biology sessions going well too. Would recommend.
We signed up for the two year plan when my son was in Year 9 because maths was clearly going to be the problem subject. Mark has been with him the whole time. Progress was not linear, there were months where nothing seemed to move and we nearly cancelled. Then something clicked in Year 11. He sat his actual GCSE last week and walked out saying it went well. I will believe it when I see the envelope.
Robert a grade 8 after starting at a 4 is one of the most remarkable results we have seen. Your son and Mark should both be incredibly proud. The Daresne Team
My son used to dread maths and would kick off about homework. After about 8 sessions with Daresne something changed. He now does extra practice without being asked which I honestly never expected. Tutor explains things at his pace and doesnt make him feel bad for not getting it first time. Made a huge difference to his confidence.
My son was fine on the non-calculator paper but fell apart on the calculator. I asked whether we could focus purely on that. His tutor said yes and stuck to it. Felt like a risk being that narrow but his mock result on the calculator paper went from a 3 to a 7. Overall predicted grade now a 6 up from a 4.
Her school suggested she move to foundation tier maths. We did not accept that. We signed up for 16 sessions a month for the final year and her tutor Hannah worked on higher tier content only, never retreated to foundation. She got a 7. She is going to her sixth form of choice. That is all I wanted and it happened.
