Daughter had a really negative attitude toward maths after a difficult yr8. By yr10 she had basically given up on getting anything decent at GCSE. Tutor spent time rebuilding her confidence before even getting into exam technique. She is now predicted a 6 and does her maths homework without being asked.
Quality of teaching has been really high and son has gone from a 4 to a predicted 6. Only reason not 5 stars is the first few weeks had scheduling confusion and a session was missed without warning. Got sorted and since then has been really smooth. Would still recommend.
Really hard to find good Arabic tutors in the UK and Daresne came through. Tutor was brilliant and understood the specific requirements of the GCSE syllabus. Daughter improved massively in written Arabic and reading comprehension. We will use Daresne for A level Arabic next year as well.
Son was really struggling with the programming elements of GCSE computer science. Tutor made Python make sense to him which was what we needed. He now actually enjoys coding. His teacher at school said his programming work has improved significantly. Positive experience overall.
Came to Daresne after daughter got a D in her first biology mock. Tutor completely changed how she approaches the subject. Instead of memorising facts she now understands the processes. She got an A in her most recent mock and is predicted an A star for the finals.
Son needed a 5 in English. Got a 6. Job done.
Started with Daresne for son in Year 5 who was falling behind in maths. Within a term he had caught up. By the end of Year 5 he was actually one of the stronger students in his class. Tutor was really good at keeping sessions fun. Good option for primary support.
Son chose GCSE Latin and was really struggling with the grammar and unseen translation. His tutor went back to basics with the declensions and verb patterns and built things back up from there. He is predicted a 7 having been getting 4s. Really glad we found the right tutor for it.
