My son speaks German with his grandparents but was getting a 5 in GCSE German. His tutor identified immediately that his register was too informal and his written German had anglicisms he had picked up at home. Three months later he is predicted a 9.
My son speaks German with his grandparents but was getting a 5 in GCSE German. His tutor identified immediately that his spoken register was too informal and his written German had anglicisms. Very similar to what I imagine heritage speakers face in other languages. Three months later he is predicted a 9. The focus on exam-specific language made all the difference.
Lovely tutor. My son clicked with him straightaway and Junior Cert maths is going in the right direction. Eight sessions a month. Very happy.
My daughter used Daresne for two years across A level biology and chemistry. In year one she was struggling badly. By the end of year two she had the grades for her first choice university course. The consistency - patient and methodical, week after week - made all the difference. She is in her first year of biochemistry now. Sixteen sessions a month the second year.
So glad we tried the free trial. My daughter clicked with her tutor straight away and Leaving Cert French has come on brilliantly since.
Just want to say thank you to Siobhan. She has been so patient with my son and Leaving Cert maths has genuinely come on. Really grateful.
My son was really struggling with applying physics concepts to exam questions even when he understood the theory. His tutor focused heavily on worked examples and exam technique. Six months later he went from H5s to H2s in his school assessments. The tutor knows the Leaving Cert specification very well and that targeted approach made a big difference.
Very good. My son has improved in Leaving Cert maths and enjoys the sessions. Would recommend without hesitation.
