Son was really struggling with the data skills and mathematical elements of GCSE geography. Tutor has been really good at making statistical techniques feel less scary. He has also got much better at the longer essay questions. Target grade was a 6 and he is now predicted a 7.
Son was fine with the human geography content but kept dropping marks on the fieldwork and data skills elements. His tutor went through the mark scheme for those sections properly and helped him understand what a full-mark answer actually looks like. His marks on those sections have improved a lot.
Son doing Leaving Cert chemistry and needed a tutor familiar with the Irish curriculum specifically. Daresne found someone really well versed in the Leaving Cert specification and past paper style. Progress has been excellent and we are confident going into the exams.
We have now used Daresne for three of our children across different subjects and year groups. Each time the tutor has been excellent and the progress real and measurable. Pricing is fair and the matching process finds tutors who are a good fit for the child. Would definitely use Daresne again.
Donna this is so lovely to hear, thank you! Supporting multiple children across your family really means a lot to us. The Daresne Team
Daughter doing triple science and struggling across all three. Started with biology first and then added chemistry and physics once we saw the improvement. All three grades have gone up by one or two grades. Tutors have been brilliant and sessions well structured.
Son is strong on the philosophy of religion paper but kept dropping marks on the ethics paper. His tutor worked through the ethical theories and how to apply them to real issues in a way that actually stuck. Marks on the ethics paper went from Ds to Bs. School is pleased.
Son has always been a reluctant writer and English was his weakest subject. Tutor has been really good at making essay writing feel less daunting. He now has a proper structure he uses and his marks have improved a lot. School teacher commented on the improvement without knowing he had a tutor.
Son failed GCSE maths first time and needed it for his apprenticeship application. Found Daresne for the resit. Tutor was brilliant, really focused on areas he had failed on rather than starting from scratch. He passed with a 4 and has now secured his apprenticeship. Really grateful for the support.
Brian what fantastic news! Passing the resit and securing the apprenticeship is a brilliant outcome. Your son should be very proud. The Daresne Team
