About Blake
Building Confidence Through Clear, Patient Teaching
Blake is a friendly, downtoearth tutor who has already spent many hours helping younger siblings and family friends with maths. He explains ideas step by step, checking that students genuinely understand before moving on. As a learntoswim instructor, he is used to breaking complex skills into simple, manageable stages and celebrating small wins along the way. This same patient, practical approach helps school students feel more confident tackling tricky maths questions.
Experienced Working Safely and Positively With Children
Through his work as a learntoswim instructor, Blake has extensive experience managing groups of children, keeping them engaged, focused and safe. He holds a Working With Children Check, First Aid and CPR certifications, giving parents extra peace of mind. He is comfortable supporting nervous or shy learners, using calm encouragement and clear routines. This background means he can quickly build trust with primary and lower high school students and create a positive atmosphere for learning.
Active, GoalFocused Approach to Learning
Currently studying Exercise and Sport Science, Blake understands motivation, goalsetting and how practice leads to improvement. He often uses simple reallife examples from sport and everyday activities to make maths feel more relevant and less intimidating. In swimming lessons he sets short, achievable targets for each child; in tutoring, he brings the same strategy to homework, revision and test preparation. This tutor helps students set clear goals, track their progress and develop strong study habits over time.
