Blake is a fantastic A-Level chemistry tutor to my son. His lessons are engaging, well planned, varied and totally tailored to my son’s needs. Blake has created a great rapport with my son in a short space of time, and I feel my son is more motivated and confident than he has been in a long time. Blake has also taken the time to speak to me as the parent, as I wanted to share some background information about my son, which I knew would be useful. Thanks Blake!
From Nadia
My daughter really likes Blake. He’s friendly and relaxed but gets results. She did brilliantly in her GCSEs but nose dived in the first year of A level Chemistry and Biology. Within just a few lessons with Blake, her confidence grew and her grades started to rise. After only a few months she’s getting A stars again. As her mother, I feel I can relax and stop worrying as Blake has her back on track, and focuses on things she has struggled with at College. Nailing the underlying maths for chemistry has made a big difference.

Blake got straight to it with my son and they've really got on. Blake's been flexible when we're had last minute scheduling issues due to sporting commitments and always follows each lesson with an email including the slides covered. I would have no hesitation in recommending Blake
From Claire
Blake’s ability to break down complex scientific topics and his use of practical resources means he is able to target specific areas making a real impact and noticeable improvement to GCSE grades.
From Sophia
Blake made an immediate connection with Toby. His lessons really helped him build confidence in science.
From Lezanne
Blake has really helped my son get to grips with Biology and Physics. His lessons are well-organised, he gets on well with my son and delivers the material so it's easy to grasp. I really appreciated the extra lengths he goes to in setting homework tasks to consolidate the session's teachings which are then marked and returned by the next day.
From Rehab
I have learned so much in my lessons with Blake. He paces the lesson just right so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. Blake asks questions and gets me to respond which promotes faster learning. He is patient and eager to help.
From Nadia
It was not very clear that this tutor only teaches online and for that reason I gave four instead of five stars He was very helpful though when I communicated and contacted first tutors to help get my fee replaced. Very kind helpful gentleman
Hi Nadia, Apologies for the confusion caused by me only offering online lessons at the moment. Hope you were able to find a suitable tutor to come to your home. Best, Blake
From Jackie
Fantastic tutor. Blake has created a great rapport with our son who is now more confident and motivated. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable and analysed quickly what areas needed working on. Jackie
From Thavie
Blake is engaging and helpful and is always more than happy to clarify any grey areas or blank spots in my knowledge. He encourages me to answer my own questions and think outside the box and goes over topics clearly and concisely. I really enjoy our sessions because I always come out of them feeling like I have genuinely learnt a lot and have a more well-rounded understanding of the topic. Blake links topics well and encourages the formation of synoptic links between topics I have learnt previously. I feel a lot more confident in my knowledge and ability to answer exam questions since working with Blake and have seen the results of this in three-weekly tests at school. I would highly recommend Blake as a tutor- between his extensive knowledge of exam questions and genuine enthusiasm for topics- you learn incredibly well.
From Mitchell
My daughter is really enjoying his lessons. Would highly recommend Blake as a tutor.
Thanks for the feedback Mitch, it has been great working with your daughter.
From ZIntis
I couldn't recommend Blake enough, his lessons have changed my daughters entire view of science - she is actually excited by it now. Blake really takes the time to make the lessons engaging.
The best news is that on her last test she got her highest mark ever in science, really an amazing result.
Thanks for the kind review Zintis. It has been a pleasure working with your family.
From Vanessa
I would highly recommend Blake - he is a brilliant tutor. We were really impressed with his online lessons, especially as we weren't sure whether online would be right for us initially. My son really enjoyed the lessons and we found him incredibly knowledgeable and supportive.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. It has been a real pleasure working with your son. Sometimes all a student needs is a little confidence boost.
From Zahra
Blake's lessons have completely changed my son's opinion of Biology and general work ethic for the better. My son was about to drop Biology, but this is no longer the case. He instead wishes to continue with Biology and has shown continuous improvements in his knowledge and subsequent assessment scores. Blake has been an incredible tutor, both in person and now as an online tutor.
Hi Zahra, thanks for the kind words. It has been great working with your son and I know this is just the start of the improvement we'll see before his exams.
From Kauther
Thanks Kauther, it has been a pleasure working with you
From Julie
Blake immediately established an easy rapport with our 15 year old son, they were even laughing together in the first lesson! Afterwards our son said a one hour lesson felt like 20 minutes and asked us if he could tutor him all year. Blake is friendly yet professional and clearly a very good teacher. We are really looking forward to seeing our son blossom under his tuition next year.
Thanks for the kind review Julie.
