From Renny (1/5):

Reply from: Blake: Dear Renny,
I am sorry to see that you weren't happy with my tutoring.
Without specific feedback, and almost a year between our last session and your review, I cannot understand precisely what did not meet your expectations.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback you have, so I can improve where I might be lacking. I would like to offer a complimentary session, should you be willing to give me another go.
I hope your studies are going well in any case.
Best,
Blake

From Janine (5/5): Blake is an amazing, professional and caring Tutor to my 19 yr old son who is diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Blake has worked with my son (and continues to do so) for over one year and has been unwaveringly supportive. My son is able to share his passion for mathematics with Blake and these sessions have long been the highlight of his week! Blake has expertly introduced new concepts to my son when he felt he was ready and this has led to a huge progression in his knowledge and confidence which was lacking before he started working with Blake. Far from doubting his ability now, my son knows he has a strength and can see a future in this area. I cannot thank Blake enough for the hugely positive influence he continues to be in my sons life. Highly recommend!!!!

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Janine, I'm looking forward to many more sessions with your son!

From KelsyAnne (5/5): The assistance that I have received from Blake regarding my university math subject has been outstanding.
Blake ensures that I have a comprehensive understanding of each topic by taking his time to work through questions at my pace. My confidence in my mathematical abilities has increased drastically.
If it weren't for Blake's assistance throughout the course of the semester, I seriously doubt that I would have been able to pass my final exam.
Strongly recommend!

Reply from: Blake: Thanks for the feedback KelsyAnne!

From Matt (5/5): Blake is an excellent tutor and has really helped me get to where I needed to be prior to starting my engineering Masters degree. My mathematics was okay, but needed alot of work and was a long way off from the course requirements four month's ago. Not only am I meeting prerequisite standards, I have also found another science topic that I have developed a passion for. Highly recommend!

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Matt! I am really happy with how much you managed to cover over the past few months, especially whilst juggling work too.

From Ruby (5/5): Blake not only brings a high level of professionalism as a mathematician he also is personable, patient and reliable. I received tutoring for six months for tertiary level calculus via zoom and I was always so impressed with Blake's enthusiasm for maths and ability to explain mathematical concepts in an engaging way. He is an excellent tutor and has an in depth knowledge for the application of mathematical theory which helps achieve a higher level of understanding. Highly recommend. :)

From Francy (5/5): Blake is great. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for help. He is really patient and knows his stuff. Willing to try and explain things in multiple ways to help you understand.

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Francy for you kind words! I enjoyed our sessions, hoping we have more in the future.

From Sherin (5/5): Blake is an amazing tutor with deep knowledge about the subjects and got skills in explaining the subject very simple and interesting manner.
Jess Mother

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Sherin. It was a pleasure tutoring Jess!

From Lachlan (5/5): Blake provided an efficient and effective service. He knows his subject well and is keen to share his wisdom.

Reply from: Blake: Thanks, Lachlan! I enjoyed working with you.

From Rachel (5/5): Great at explaining and doesn’t make you feel bad if you don’t know the answer. Takes the time to make sure you understand.

Reply from: Blake: Thanks for the kind comments Rachel. Happy to help you and looking forward to more sessions together!

From Samara (5/5): Blake is not only deeply knowledgeable about mathematics at all levels but also a complete natural when it comes to teaching.

His methodological way of explaining difficult concepts has been invaluable in helping me to pass an advanced mathematics subject at university. He would also put in significant additional time to prepare for our lessons each week, reviewing problems that I would send him in advance of the classes. Could not ask for a better tutor.

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Samara! That is really nice of you. I really enjoyed our sessions. Best of luck with the rest of your masters course

From Aaron (5/5): Feel confident that I'll be able to achieve my mathematics goals for the year with Blake.

Reply from: Blake: Glad to hear that Aaron. Looking forward to working toward these goals with you!

From Jadon (5/5): I started an engineering maths subject last year which I was worried about, as the starting point was at a significantly higher level then any type of maths I had done before. Blake was able to guide me through the per-requisite areas of calculus and linear algebra that I needed to start the course. Thanks to his fantastic teaching I was able to pass the subject and am extremely grateful.
Aside from math he was also very generous in sharing tips and suggestions for improving my general study habits and methods.

Reply from: Blake: Thanks so much for your feedback Jadon, and I am very happy to hear you did well in your course! Best of luck with any future studies/endeavours.

From Chantelle (5/5): Very impressed, especially given the difficultly of the subject matter, super reliable and knowledgeable! Very happy and highly recommend!

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Chantelle, i was very happy to help and glad you did well.

From Trev (5/5): Blake is Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated. Simply love the way he teaches.

Reply from: Blake: Thanks for the feedback! I have had a great time tutoring Hyaden, he is going really well!

From Jane (5/5): Blake is very reliable and has been excellent tutoring my son in Maths and also in some Science . I highly recommend him

Reply from: Blake: Thanks Jane, I enjoyed tutoring your son and I hope that he can continue the improvements we saw during our time together!
