Finally understand uni maths. For good. *Stop memorising formulas. Start mastering the concepts.* After 7+ years as a tutor and former University of Melbourne marker and tutor, I saw that most students feel lost in a sea of abstract lectures. I founded Zen MathMind to fix this. I don't just teach you the content; I teach you the framework for thinking that unlocks it. --- Who is this for? --- My approach is designed for the university student who wants to build a deep, lasting understanding of mathematics. This is for you if: ✅ You put in hours studying, but your marks don't seem to reflect your effort. ✅ You value true comprehension over simply memorizing rules for an exam. ✅ You're ready to build real confidence and overcome this challenge, once and for all. ❌ This is NOT for you if you're looking for a last-minute fix, want someone to do your homework, or are just hoping to scrape by. --- Our system: not just tutoring --- When you work with me and my team, you don't just get an hourly tutor; you get a complete support system designed for success. Our proven programs include: ► Marker-Focused Strategy Sessions: We use my unique perspective as a former university marker to focus on what truly matters for building understanding and demonstrating it effectively. ► Automated Session Summaries: You focus on understanding; our system handles the notes. Imagine opening a perfect, searchable PDF summary 5 minutes after our session instead of spending hours deciphering messy notes. ► Personalised AI Study Companion: ChatGPT is great, but it's not a tutor, without careful refinement. I will personally build you a custom AI prompt and guide, tailored to your course and learning style, to help you generate practice problems and get unstuck 24/7. ► Priority Q&A Support: Get priority access to ask questions and get unstuck between sessions, ensuring you never lose momentum. --- Why our approach works --- Anyone can call themselves a tutor. Very few can offer this level of insight: 1️⃣ I Was a University Marker: I spent 4+ years marking literally thousands of university exams. I know precisely how they're designed and where students lose marks. I will teach you how to structure your answers for maximum credit. 2️⃣ I'm a Published Researcher: My background isn't just in teaching; it's in creating new mathematics. I can show you how to build solutions from the ground up when you're faced with a problem you've never seen before. 3️⃣ I Guarantee Our Quality: I have developed a unique, data-driven system that analyses tutorials to ensure every session meets my personal gold standard for engagement and effectiveness. Every hand-picked tutor on my team is trained in this system. That is my promise to you. --- Next step: Complimentary clarity call from me --- My system requires a certain mindset. That's why the only way to begin is with a complimentary 15-minute Clarity Call with me. This is a crucial diagnostic session for me to see if we're a good fit, and for you to get my expert perspective on how you can approach your course more effectively. You will receive a free actionable guide from me, giving you 3-5 pillars to focus on to get better *this week* personlised to your course, your experience and your goals. --- How to book the call --- To see if this approach is right for you, please message me directly through studentvip for my private booking link. You can also learn more about our services, and get some free videos and tips by googling "Zen MathMind Tutoring". PS. To ensure every student gets my full focus, I only take on a small number of new students each semester, and some packages close by week 3 of semester to ensure success in reaching your goals. Please book in early.

I had Blake this semester for Group Theory and Linear Algebra and he was an amazing tutor. He was very patient with me and went really in-depth in topics to help deepen my understanding. He never mad me feel silly when I didn’t quite understand a concept and would take the time to help me learn. He’s a really amazing tutor and I would highly recommend him!

I highly recommend Blake as a tutor. I had him for Group Theory and Linear Algebra, and it was clear that he has a deep and thorough understanding of the subject, and of mathematics in general. Our sessions together were a string of 'aha!' moments, where I would rapidly make noticeable progress in areas that I had otherwise struggled with. I wish that the rest of my mathematics education could be like these session with Blake, because it seems sorely lacking in comparison.

Blake is 10/10 amazing! He absolutely saved the day when I needed to pass a Bridging Introduction to Calculus Course in order to gain entrance to the University of Sydney. He completely changed the way I look at learning math. I've struggled with math my whole life and he's the best tutor I've ever had. It would be a mistake not to choose him as your tutor!

If you are finding yourself with any math-related problems, Blake will be the best choice of tutor that you could have. I was unfortunate enough only to find Blake near the end of the semester and only had him for a Real Analysis session but the experience was amazing. He has his way of teaching able to transform math into something much more easy to visualize. Throughout the session, i also be able to learn a lot from this way of thinking and approaching certain problems hence using that for further math studies. Overall, I could not recommend Blake enough if you are finding it difficult to understand maths. On Top of that, his professionals also make him stands out from all the previous tutors that i have

I had Blake as a tutor for Real Analysis this semester and I can’t stress how grateful I am to have been tutored by him. I was facing a lot of difficulties in this subject and learning it online at uni didn’t make it any easier. I don’t think I could actually write 3 line of proofs that made sense at the time I met Blake. Regardless, he was so patient with me and explained concepts so thoroughly. Often, he’d tried to show me the geometric interpretation of theorems to help me visualize it and this made it a whole lot easier to apply the theorem. He was also very obliging whenever I requested for extra lessons. Would recommend him any day!

I have had Blake as a tutor recently for Complex analysis and have had him as a tutor before that during my 2nd year. I cannot recommend Blake highly enough. Throughout my time with Blake as a tutor he has gone above and beyond to help me understand difficult concepts. He has been able to communicate things to me in a way so that I'll understand them by using great examples and showing the way the concepts work with each other. He is a fantastic tutor especially if you find that concrete examples and explanations help you understand concepts much better than proofs they show in lecture slides. He was always kind and patient and went out of his way to work out how I best understand things. In conclusion I would highly recommend him to anyone undertaking mathematics at uni.

Blake is a very patient, reliable, dedicated and empathetic tutor. He understands students who struggle with mathematics and will break down complex concepts into simple ideas that help students see its application in the everyday environment. I am so glad I found him when I began my postgraduate journey at the University of Melbourne because I really needed a tutor who understood statistics and probability mathematics and its application in data science. He really cares and checks to see if his students get a concept he's taught. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLAKE as a tutor! A++++++

I had Blake for Calculus 1. He explained the concepts/questions very well. Overall, it was very helpful.
