My daughter speaks Arabic at home but finding a tutor who knows the GCSE specification rather than just the spoken language was the challenge. Daresne found the right person immediately. Her written Arabic has improved significantly and she now feels confident about the formal register the exam requires.
My son was getting Ds in Higher chemistry and his teacher had suggested considering dropping to National 5. We did not want to do that and tried Daresne instead. His tutor was extremely knowledgeable and very patient. He got a B in his prelim having failed it in November. Really glad we stuck with Higher.
Excellent all round. Daresne matched us well and the sessions have been productive from the start. Son is predicted a 7 in geography now. Very happy with the service.
My daughter is sitting GCSE Ga and I had no expectation of finding support anywhere in the UK. Daresne actually found a tutor. A native speaker who knows the exam requirements. I am still slightly amazed. My daughter has improved enormously and is confident about the exam. Remarkable service.
Brilliant. My son went from failing Leaving Cert geography to predicted H3. The tutor is excellent and knows the Irish curriculum inside out.
My son has always struggled with English and had more or less given up on getting a decent grade. After his third session he told me that his Daresne tutor was the first person who had made him feel like he actually could do it. His predicted grade has gone from a 3 to a 6. The confidence was the thing that unlocked everything else.
So glad we did the free trial. My daughter liked her tutor immediately and it has been brilliant ever since. Junior Cert English is much improved. Would recommend Daresne to any Irish parent.
My daughter was fine on studied texts but lost marks every time on the unseen poetry section of Leaving Cert English. Her tutor focused on this specifically - how to read a poem you have never seen and write analytically about it in a time limit. After six sessions her marks on that section went from H5 to H2. Very targeted work.
