Blake's Feedback

Total Positive Feedback: |
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
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!

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.
Aside from math he was also very generous in sharing tips and suggestions for improving my general study habits and methods.
