My son still thinks a lot of physics is abstract. But something about his tutor made it feel worth engaging with. He started asking questions during sessions which he never does at school. Predicted grade went from a 4 to an 8. He has now listed it as one of his A level options. I would not have predicted that twelve months ago.
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.
We do 16 sessions a month split between the two languages. I was sceptical about whether that was too much but it has genuinely worked. French up two grades. Spanish up two grades. My daughter said having two different tutors actually helped because the styles are different and she had to adapt. That felt like an unexpected bonus.
Charlotte improving in two languages at once is fantastic. Your daughter has worked so hard. Best of luck in the exams! The Daresne Team
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.
First couple of sessions werent great if im honest. Daughter wasnt engaging and I wasnt sure it was worth continuing. Messaged Daresne and they changed approach quickly. After that it was a lot better. She actually enjoys English now so cant complain. Would have given 5 stars except for the slow start. Good communication from the team overall.
Thanks Sophie, really appreciate the honest feedback. Sorry the start was slow and glad we could sort it. Please reach out any time if anything isnt working. The Daresne Team
Started 11+ prep with Daresne about 7 months before the test. Daughter is on the shy side and I worried she wouldnt open up over video but she got on brilliantly from the start. Verbal reasoning was the weak spot and by the end she was flying through practice papers. She got into her first choice school. We are absolutely thrilled.
That is brilliant news, congratulations to your daughter! She worked so hard and it really paid off. Wishing her all the best at her new school. The Daresne Team
She just kept rereading the same pages and testing herself with the same questions. Her tutor taught her how to actually revise which sounds simple but her school had never really addressed it. Predicted grade went from a 4 to an 8 over about ten months. She now uses the same approach for all her subjects. Changed how she learns.
My son sat down for the first session with his arms crossed and I thought this is going nowhere. Twelve months later on 8 sessions a month he is predicted a 6 having started at a 3. He is actually nervous about results day in the good way. He wants to do well. That has never happened before with French. Whatever Amelie does it works.
Marc Amelie will absolutely love reading this! Turning someone around who had checked out takes real skill. Best of luck on results day. The Daresne Team
