Exceptional tutor with a strong understanding of the topics, the relationships between concepts and on how to explain it well. Would highly recommend him for 3rd year math subjects! :)

I cannot recommend Blake as a tutor highly enough. As someone who hadn't done any maths for 5 years, and had only completed general maths in the HSC at that, I was terrified at the thought of university mathematics. I absolutely would not have gotten through the subject without his support. His knowledge and understanding is exceptional. Yet, it really is his teaching style that allowed me to grasp the content. Any knowledge gaps I had, he was able to go back and provide context for, allowing me to understand the current topics (I may have even ended up enjoying some of the content). The techniques and explanations Blake introduced to me were invaluable. I was able to build my confidence in a judgement-free space; something I hadn't found at learning support centres at Uni, ultimately allowing myself to engage in the concepts. He really turned a subject I had been dreading my entire degree, into an enjoyable one!
