Blaine's Feedback

My son is loving his sessions with Blaine - he is very knowledgeable, brings energy to the sessions and has great rapport. The notes after each session are really helpful, in depth and come within 24 hours so making recapping really easy. Very happy son and mum so far!

Blaine is an excellent tutor who helped my son consolidate topics in the A level maths course. My son enjoyed the sessions; he particularly liked his teaching style, allowing him to come to the answers himself, and was very good explaining anything he didn't understand. My son achieved an A* in Maths A level this summer, gaining 100% UMS in all papers.

Blaine is so nice and friendly. He has excellent tutoring skills. He is really easy to approach. Mariam felt confident and she always looks forward for her next session with him ☺️

Blaine is an amazing tutor and my children love working with him. He is punctual, responsible, professional and extremely competent. His explanation is effective and clear, and always responsive to questions and comments from the parents. I would strongly recommend Blain to anyone who is looking for a top-notch tutor.

Blaine is an exceptional and outstanding maths tutor. My daughter was studying Maths for A levels in year 13 and required an A grade minimum in the subject.
We contacted Blaine to help our daughter in her weak areas I.e the topic of Mechanics. Blaine did exactly that and much more to consolidate her Maths overall. Before the exams, my daughter was far more confident and she has now achieved an A* in Maths A levels and heading to study medicine at uni next month!
I thoroughly recommend Blaine for building confidence in the subject and improving grades. Thank you so much, Blaine!!

Blaine is an exceptional tutor who created a positive, enjoyable and engaging rapport with our sons. He very quickly understood their strengths and areas to focus as well as their preferred ways of learning. He tailored the sessions accordingly, which had a great impact. Boys have just received their gcse grades and are delighted with the results thanks to Blaine's support. We highly recommend Blaine!

I would highly recommend Blaine to all students, who are lost in the "darkness of maths".
He has an amazing talent to be a tutor - patient, giving a clear and logical explanation, he is able to get to the weak points of the student. He is a very positive, responsible and respectful person and a bright example for our children.
Thanks to him my daughter has become more confident, secure and strong at the most difficult tasks, such as ratio and probability.
Even if it was very briefly, we are happy to have had the opportunity to have met him!

Excellent tutor -my 17 year old daughter reports the best maths tutor she has ever had.

Blaine has been nothing short of outstanding. He is an excellent and exceptional tutor for my sons in many ways. He has been professional and courteous when working with my sons.
Who would think that my children would be clamoring to go first for their math lessons with Blaine.
They enjoy math so much that it has become fun for them. Blaine as the ability to adjust and meet the child at their level of understanding and take them on a mathematical journey. Lessons are highly integrated and not compartmentalized which allows for more efficient learning.
The only regret is we did not find him sooner!

Blaine is an excellent teacher. My son, 14, has had weekly lessons with Blaine for two months and is very impressed with his teaching methods. As parents, we are very pleased to see his school results already improved visibly. Thank you, Blaine!

Excellent tutor who understands the capability and potential of the student. He recognises the knowledge gaps and works towards not only filling those but ensuring a strong foundation.

Blaine has been the perfect tutor for my 13 year old son, who needed support to cover the common entrance syllabus.
He has provided an exceptionally high standard of teaching and my son will certainly miss his tuition sessions with Blaine.
I can not recommend Blaine highly enough and we will certainly use him for support during exam periods and GCSE.

My son found Blaine to be an excellent Maths Tutor and felt very positive about the progress he would make with Blaine's help. Unfortunately, they only had a few sessions before the lockdown began so things are currently on hold.

Blaine has done an
Excellent job of tutoring our son for A level mathematics
In less than 6 months he has improved his projected grades by 3 levels
He is always well prepared and on time for tutorials. Plus our son has been extremely happy with his teaching methods and guidance
Wholeheartedly recommend him

Johnny had been moved down from set 1 to 2 at the end of year 9 at his private school. We had already realised there may be some issues (class tests were around grade 5) and had arranged for Blaine to be in place as his tutor for the start of year 10. Today, results day, sees Johnny with a grade 9 in Maths and a sixth form place at a prestigious local grammar school.

To say that Blaine’s tutoring has been money well spent is an understatement. Not only has he enabled Johnny to get to grips with the material, he has also developed in Johnny a love for the subject, so much so that his A levels will include both Maths and Further Maths.

Blaine is an extremely capable tutor - kind, funny, with high expectations for his students. It’s Blaine who has been able to draw Johnny’s ability out to lead directly to today’s outcome.

Needless to say we are delighted with the result and to be continuing with him for the next 2 years.

Thank you Blaine!

Blaine was an excellent tutor, in 20 lessons he improved my Alevels maths grade from a C to an A. He is very thorough in his teaching and explains everything very clearly, in a way which makes it easy for you to understand. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a maths tutor.

Blaine is an excellent tutor - and gave our son great support and confidence at a time when he was finding his Pre-U course challenging. I would highly recommend Blaine for maths tutoring at this senior level.

Blaine is an outstanding tutor. Through receiving Blaine's tuition, our son (who is in Year 11) has gained hugely in confidence in his maths and has increased his expectations, now aiming for a Grade 9 (previously predicted a Grade 7) when he takes his GCSEs in a few months' time. Blaine is a highly likeable and personable individual who makes maths lessons fun. Our son looks forward to Blaine's lessons and there is always plenty of laughter and enjoyment to be heard during the lessons! We are keen to employ Blaine again next year for our younger son.

Blaine and my daughter get along very well. This is a big achievement when trying to teach her maths! He is calm and patent. He really knows his stuff but he can also understand why someone else wouldn't understand it and bring it down to their level. He also has great knowledge of the GCSE syllabus and can create GCSE example questions out of thin air. This is so important as they need so much practise at interpreting the longer, more complex questions and breaking them down into the actual maths that they need to solve. In Rosie's last school test she had attempted and worked though most questions whereas previously there have always been big blank spaces. Very pleased, that is progress. A hard job, done well. Thanks.

Blaine truly helped my teenage sister with her GCSEs, she could not have succeeded without his support. We, as a family, are extremely grateful.
My sister found his teaching very clear and reassuring. Blaine never hesitated in explaining things several times if she did not understand. We strongly recommend Blaine and thank him for his invaluable support!

Blaine is an excellent tutor, just who my son needed to help give him confidence to obtain a great maths GCSE result. Blaine is always punctual and reliable, has a great warmth and sense of humour as well as being extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing maths tuition.

Thank you Blaine. You are a gentleman and a scholar! You have an exceptional ability to engage with young people and I can sincerely say it was a real delight to see how much Edward loved your sessions. You inspired him with confidence in his ability and assured his success. You are without a doubt an exceptional tutor.

Blaine is great. We are half way through 12 months to GCSE's but we have already seen a marked improvement in confidence, attitude and test results. Blaine is also extremely reliable, punctual and likable.

What a great tutor!
Blaine has the ability to make Zak's maths sessions full of fun, and has really helped Zak to grasp more difficult concepts.

Outstanding Tutor in every way ! I would recommend him.

Blaine is a fantastic tutor. He is so cheerful and personable as well as being a brilliant mathematician. He is excellent at explaining difficult concepts in a clear understandable way. He gives his students great skills and confidence.

We have met Blaine three times now as a tutor for our daughter and each time she has not stopped talking about she suddenly understands each topic now and how he actually makes things simple and fun and they now make sense. All very positive stuff so far

Thank-you Blaine for assisting my daughter at AS & A2 level in the run up to exams. Your lessons gave her confidence & support to achieve an A grade!

We couldn't of had a better Tutor! Blaine has been amazing, we needed a tutor to boost our year 11 son's confidence and ability ready for his GCSE Maths. Blaine worked with our son Joe on a weekly basis, he identified his weak points and broke methods down in a way which he was able to understand and retain, whilst still making each session enjoyable. In fact Joe used to look forward to his Maths sessions and then subsequently school lessons which he'd always dreaded. Joe achieved an A grade in his GCSE Maths this year. Thank you Blaine.

Blaine knew the AS syllabus well and was able to explain everything extremely clearly. He gave confidence in approaching the questions and in my son's ability. He was punctual and helped my son who was predicted a B at the start of the year to a high A. Would recommend

My daughter has been doing her Maths tutoring with Blaine since September and I cannot praise him enough. His knowledge of the subject is extraordinary!! My daughter enjoys her lessons with him. It is early days but so far we are extremely pleased with the lessons. He is very helpful and accommodating. Thank you for your help and patience.
Ugo

Blaine is an excellent tutor. Explains everything in ways that no teacher does and helped a struggling maths student achieve top grade at AS. Would, and have strongly recommended.

Blaine is a great tutor who has really helped my son get to the next level.

Very personable and very knowledgeable tutor with a great deal of empathy for my son. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Blaine's passion for maths is inspiring and was really well received by Danny. Blaine delivered a confidant and well-judged level of stimulation and helped Danny find the solution to interesting problem solving questions. Exactly what we were looking for - and we have been looking for some time! Thanks Blaine.

My daughter found Blaine very helpful I highly recommend him

Excellent Tutor…

Brilliant! Brilliant! Blaine is a great teacher, kind and patient. Once he is aware of the details of the students difficulties, he can teach at the level that the student can understand. I will have no problems recomending this tutor with friends. Well Done Blaine and Well Done First Tutors!

excellent wish we found him sooner

Blaine is highly professional in his approach to tutoring.

He is a highly engaging individual and has struck a chord with my son immediately putting him at ease when tackling specific mathematical problems.

Blaine is very calm and a good listener. We are so pleased that our son is benefiting from this tuition.

I cannot be more please with him. He explains perfectly clear, and has a lot of patience.
I'm really happy with him.

Blaine has been a fantastic source of help for my son. We found him at short notice when my son came home in a panic after an AS level maths exam had not gone well.
Blaine has worked through past questions with my son and also given him tips for exam technique. We are so pleased that we have engaged Blaine to work with my son once a week during his A level year. He is polite, timely and makes the sessions fun (we often hear some laughter from the dining room). I think we have found a really great tutor here - thank you.

Blaine tutored my son (Joe) for about 8 weeks leading up to his maths re-take this November. We found Blaine to be friendly and approachable, and he lost no time in getting down to some serious one-to-one teaching. In the first two weeks he identified Joe's strengths and weaknesses, then concentrated more on the weak areas, giving him hints and tips as to how to approach concepts he found difficult. This improved Joe's ability a great deal leading to much more confidence when taking the re-sit. He also gave Joe homework each week and updated me each session on the homework results and his progress, including areas he was concentrating on. Joe was also given revision tips leading up to the re-sit.

Blaine tutored Joe at his flat as it seemed better he was away from distractions here at home. Joe's own comments are that he "gained a great deal of confidence, learnt a lot, it was a comfortable environment, and Blaine was friendly".

I would certainly recommend Blaine for any level of maths tutoring!
Steve

We are so pleased we decided to go ahead and ask Blaine if he could help our daughters with their Maths. They are full of positive comments ( and delightfully disappointed that they won't be seeing him this week). He is punctual and patient and explains things in a fun way. Thank you Blaine.

Blaine has been working with Liam over the last few weeks and has really engaged with him; boosting his confidence in approaching problems and reinforcing the fundamentals. Excellent start.

Blaine is very bright and very friendly and seems to have had no difficulty striking up a good rapport with our son who has told us he has learnt alot in the past three weeks and more importantly his confidence in maths has improved considerably.

My 15 year old son has gone from complete avoidance of maths study and practise to looking forward to his maths lessons, in just 2 weeks. This attitudinal shift is key to any future exam success, as it's not ability he lacked but application, confidence and motivation. Blaine is an Inspiring, creative and thorough maths teacher and worth every penny.

Blaine has been tutoring my son Will for the last 4 weeks and Will is feeling more confident with Maths topics. They concentrate on specific areas and Will feels he has really improved.
Blaine is very easy to get on with, I love the way he dives straight in and starts teaching, he appears knowledgeable enough to carry the maths syllabus on his head!
I’d recommend Blaine to teach at any level to any student

Would thoroughly recommend Blaine. Will, my son who is 14 really looks forward to his maths sessions and we have already have seen a marked improvement in just a few weeks. Thank you Blaine

Blaine is great. His teaching style suits me and I have learnt such a lot in a short space of time. I feel more confident and lot happier about maths. I'm actually enjoying it!

Imogen

very helpful

First day of tuition was outstanding! Blaine was punctual, trustworthy, intelligent, enthusiastic, calm and much more than we were hoping for. We are absolutely thrilled with his approach and knowledge of the subject. Most importantly, he imparts his knowledge very well. His confidence of Maths is catching and my daughter is excited about learning with Blaine. We feel very fortunate to have him working with her.

Excellent tuition - it was hard work but I learnt so much.

Abi's confidence is growing every week - Abi wil tackle problems now whereas before she started working with Blaine, she had convinced herself she couldn't do it. Thank you

Blaine has helped to restore our daughter's confidence in maths and has explained concepts clearly in a way she can understand. He has given her some useful advise on problem solving.
