My mum always does these so I wanted to write it myself because student reviews are probably more useful. Doing A level biology and chemistry. My tutor is really good, she doesnt just read stuff at you she actually explains why things work which makes it stick. I used to find biology boring and now its my favourite subject. Bit mad really. Worth it.
The tutor himself has been excellent with my son for A level chemistry. Knowledgeable, patient and clearly experienced. The platform side of things could be smoother — booking and rescheduling is a bit clunky. Four stars for the experience overall, five for the tutor specifically.
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.
Son doing A level physics and was really behind after some disruption at school. His Daresne tutor is clearly very knowledgeable and my son says he explains things better than his school teacher. Not something I thought I would hear but there it is. He is now on track for his target grade.
Came to Daresne after daughter got a D in her first biology mock. Tutor completely changed how she approaches the subject. Instead of memorising facts she now understands the processes. She got an A in her most recent mock and is predicted an A star for the finals.
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.
Just got my A level results and I got an A in chemistry which I honestly did not think was possible six months ago. Was predicted a C. My Daresne tutor completely changed how I understood the subject. She was incredibly patient and we went over things as many times as I needed. The difference that tutor made is hard to overstate.
Chemistry tutor is exceptional. Predicted an A. That is all.
