Two children using Daresne. One doing GCSE maths, other A level economics. Both are getting better. Economics tutor is particularly strong, uses real world examples rather than just the textbook which suits my son much better. Its not the cheapest option but the quality is there. Happy with it overall.
Maths grade went up two levels. Enough said.
Daughter was really struggling to write analytical essays in history. Her school teacher actually commented unprompted that her work had improved since October. We started with Daresne in September. Tutor is excellent at helping her understand what examiners want and how to structure arguments properly.
My son had always found verbal reasoning difficult. Six months of prep with Daresne and he passed for both schools he sat. Tutor was brilliant at keeping him motivated and not stressed which was half the battle. Would recommend to anyone doing 11+ prep.
Kevin this is such great news! Your son worked incredibly hard and it showed. Wishing him all the best at his new school. The Daresne Team
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.
Neil really appreciate this feedback on the platform — we are actively working on improving the booking experience. Glad the chemistry sessions have been going well. The Daresne Team
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.
This time last year daughter was getting 4s in English language and was disheartened. Started Daresne in January and she got a 7 in her mock in November. Improvement in her writing is really visible. She now actually enjoys writing which I never thought I would say. Tutor has been incredibly patient and encouraging.
Claire what a brilliant result! A 4 to a 7 is a huge jump and your daughter should be incredibly proud. Thank you for sharing this. The Daresne Team
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.
