Luke helped my daughter prepare for her 11+ exams, particularly focusing on maths. She was offered a place at St Paul's Girls School and Tiffin School so he did something right! But perhaps most importantly was that she enjoyed the sessions, found them stimulating, and it manifestly furthered her understanding of the subject.

Luke supported my child throughout the 11+ process with weekly sessions for about one year.

Luke built a strong rapport with my child, who was always happy to attend sessions and engage with the work. He was easy to communicate with, responsive to feedback, and provided clear guidance after each session on areas to focus on. He was also flexible in focussing on topics that needed extra support.

Luke was reliable and consistent, with very few last-minute cancellations or date changes, which helped maintain continuity in learning.

Originally recommended by a friend, Luke taught our son for 10 months in preparation for his maths A level exams this summer. From the very first lesson Luke thoughtfully identified gaps in our son’s knowledge and weaknesses in his exam technique. Gradually, he transformed our son’s understanding and (crucially) enjoyment of maths, built up his confidence, and improved his approach to tackling even the most challenging of questions. Luke’s sessions were stimulating and rigorous, his explanations were clear, and he was always open to working through taxing questions our son brought to him. He is truly an exceptional teacher, and we wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you, Luke!

Luke was incredibly helpful in helping my university preparation, talking me through his approach to problems that I found tricky. Our mock interviews helped me greatly, and I'm very happy to have received offers from my chosen universities. Thank you!

Luke is a great tutor - we highly recommend him. Luke set a system of tasks and kept our child on track in preparation for his test ensuring that lots of material got covered. Luke shared plenty of very relevant preparation materials, ensuring each session was productive and focused. His guidance, explanations, responsiveness to our communications, flexibility with the tasks/programme and recommendations on how to maximise performance were key factors in achieving an A*. luke's support has been strong and consistent and we are grateful for his excellent job! Best wishes, Lucy and William

Luke has helped me get ready for my GCSEs, and with his well-paced lessons and large resource of exam questions avalaible, he has helped me secure a 9 in my maths, and a high 8 in further maths in the exam. He is a great help and very flexible in terms of lesson times!

Luke is a professional, enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable tutor who provides a an extremely high standard of maths A level tuition online. He is very approachable and always responded to our queries. My son found him very easy to work with and this undoubtedly played a huge role in helping him attain his required grades. I would highly recommend him!

Luke is a very experienced tutor, who knows how to prepare his students for the toughest of the exams. He helped my daughter with University entrance exam and as a result, she has got an offer. I could not have asked for more.

I have recently completed my A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths and Physics. With Luke, I focused on Further Maths, and his strength was his ability to ensure I understood complicated topics to enable me to deal with unusual questions, where the method to answer the question was not something I had practised. I highly recommend him.

Luke breaks down common yet difficult questions into their basic components, explaining every step to solving the problems in an understandable manner. This is greatly appreciated as it helped me develop helpful habits in approaching different types of problems. Luke also never missed a session, was always punctual, and always responsive to messages sent after our tutoring sessions, therefore, I developed a strong trust that Luke would always be there to help me with any problems I had.

Our 16 year old needed a refresher on his basics into GSCE exams. Luke found the perfect balance of theory and practice, making it enjoyable and fruitful for our son. Over the course of a few weeks, we noticed a more confident pupil and improved results.

I was interested in applying to Cambridge University to study Computer Science and was looking for some extra help in preparation for the CTMUA. I worked with Luke over the course of a few months and found it extremely useful. Luke is both friendly and helpful. He was patient when explaining things to me and was always well prepared for our tutorials. He gave me lots of advice about the application and interview process as well as helped me with developing some more advanced maths skills. Talking through solving maths problems online was extremely helpful preparation when it came to the interview. I really enjoyed our sessions and would highly recommend working with Luke.

Luke tutored my son for Oxford admissions test. Luke was extremely diligent, knowledgeable and reliable. He was very technical in all explanations and knew the subject matter well. He provided focused advice and feedback.

I have worked with Luke for several months in preparation for an application to study engineering at Cambridge university. Like has provided me focused EngAA tuition, mock interview questions and discussions, and personal statement guidance. I have found his teaching style to be supportive and effective and his knowledge of the subject to be excellent. I believe I have learnt a great deal and these sessions have been invaluable

I have been most impressed with Luke's meticulous preparation and feedback of the tutorial sessions. His detailed comments in the tutorials aim to pin point important aspects to further understanding of the topics under discussion.

We are very pleased with Luke's tutoring for the PAT test. He is rigorous about teaching the quick thinking, tenacity, and problem-solving skills that are needed for the test. His detailed reports after every session show that he quickly grasped our son's strengths and weaknesses and adapted his teaching accordingly.

Would give Luke 10 out of 10.

Luke tutored my son for Computer Science and is always well prepared and gives great feedback after each lesson.

Would recommend him without hesitation.

Luke helped my son prepare for his 13+ assessments and interview. He is a fantastic tutor- he really explained everything brilliantly and kept my son interested and focused. The Skype sessions they did were varied and enjoyable and included both basic prep for the tests and some more advanced topics to discuss for interview presentation. Luke is also extremely reliable and professional. I can't recommend him enough.

Luke has been invaluable to us since my son began his first year of Maths GCSE. Luke has instilled confidence, knowledge and enthusiasm back into the subject. As a result my son is improving week on week. Not only is the work improving but my son looks forward to the lessons and this is certainly due to Luke's patience, encouragement and excellent ability to clearly communicate methods and ideas. Luke is prompt, professional, detailed and friendly in every aspect of our dealings with him. We also receive progress reports that keep us apprised after each lesson. I highly recommend Luke as a tutor without any hesitation!

Luke is great. He is helping my son prepare for a Computer Science exam and interview. Luke is always prepared for sessions. He is energetic, enthusiastic, organised and very knowledgable of his subject. My son always tells me that the sessions were really useful and I'm sure it is because Luke understand what is needed and gets straight down to the business of helping in a focussed and meaningful way. My son also likes Luke and I think that is a really important part of being a good tutor. All in all I can't recommend Luke highly enough.

I was very stressed with my fast approaching GCSE chemistry & physics exams. I was recommended by a friend to use Luke. He kindly squeezed in (at very late notice) several hours of tutoring. I found him very helpful at explaining things I just couldn't get before. I've just sat my exams & felt pretty good afterwards because of the help I had received from Luke.

Pleasure to write a reference for Luke who has been assisting my son with AS Further Maths. I have spoken with my son who tells me Luke proved to be a superior tutor finding ways to explain complex and sometimes challenging topics. He has excellent communication skills and was quick to establish a very good rapport. We will certainly be using his services next year. Regards.

My son (Year 6) enjoys working with Luke as we continue our preparations for Common Entrance. Luke has been working with my son on Maths, English and interview techniques through which my son has greatly benefited such that he has now passed recent rounds and now goes on to the next round of exams and interviews for his chosen schools for Year 9.

Luke is good at explaining stuff, kind, nice guy and really well versed with exam structure and the best way to maximise marks. 100% reliable.

He tutored one son at first ( AS maths/further mathsand physics) then was so good my second son was also interested and used him to great benefit for A2 maths/further maths/ economics and physics. Would very highly recommend Luke as an excellent tutor.

Luke S helped my son to prepare for his Mocktest in Maths. They had about 6-8 lessons together. My son is a IB year 12 student in London. Luke is patient, organized and get a lot done during lessons. He also follow up and focus on thing that can be improved. It was very helpful an motivated my son to push himself further.

Luke's support for my son during his revision for the Maths IGCSE paper was invaluable. The tutorials on Skype were effective and convenient. Luke is a highly knowledgeable and professional Tutor with a results orientated approach. Highly recommended.

Luke was a fantastic tutor, helping me to prepare for my university interviews to study engineering. He maintained a methodical and professional approach throughout, planning sessions well to ensure that they could be as effective as possible. He was also very willing to review written work outside scheduled tutoring hours and always responded quickly with detailed feedback. As communication was one of my weaker areas, conducting sessions over Skype encouraged me to express my thoughts in a coherent and logical manner which was invaluable in interview situations. I am sure that I will continue to use the skills that Luke helped me to develop in future study and beyond, and would certainly recommend him to other students.

Luke is refreshingly upbeat and a good communicator who has worked hard to understand the needs of his students. emails are responded to promptly and with thought and insight into questions. he's observant of students and understands their particulate needs and diferent ways of learning. 1st class

Luke has very clear written and verbal communication skills and a first class command of his subject matter. He is enthusiastic and creative about his tutoring and this creates a desire by his students to strive for better outcomes.

Luke is a amazing tutor, very thorough and organised in his approach. My children have sessions with Luke each week and he is always well prepared for the session, even when my sons deviate with questions. Luke also provides task outside of the lesson for my sons to complete which I have found helps them think for themselves. Luke supplies informative progress reports on a regular basis which I have found easy to follow and invaluable. These reports allow me to check that my teenagers are doing what is asked of them. He has been working with all my sons via Skype to help prepare them for their AS-level Chemistry exams. They enjoy the sessions and say he is very kind, patient and more importantly, impressively knowledgeable about the subject. Each of my children has progressed and improved their grades. Luke is working with myself to devise a strategy for exam success. Luke is like having a teacher/friend sat with my sons all the time whilst they are doing their homework. If they have any questions outside of the session, they email him or text him and he is always more than happy to cooperate.

Luke not only helped my son with A2 maths preparation but subsequently with his Cambridge admission. My son felt the sessions with Luke were hugely influential in the final outcome. Not only were the maths tutorials excellent, but general all round advice on the Cambridge application process was invaluable. All the sessions were over Skype, which worked very well, and were well organised and professional. Thanks Luke, I will always be very grateful for everything you did for my son.

I have nothing but praise for Luke; he has been a superb tutor, coaching my son on the PAT tests and Oxford interview techniques and he is also a thoroughly professional tutor and a very nice person to deal with. My son related to him very well and Luke was able to challenge him with difficult scientific questions beyond his knowledge and comfort zone, which is exactly what he needed for his Oxford interviews. After each session, Luke 's progress report was always very informative with information about what had been covered, what knowledge gaps needed filling and what practice work needed to be done before the next session. He has helped my son push beyond his boundaries and learn to express his thought processes verbally whilst thinking through problems that he did not know the answers to. I have no doubt that Luke helped my son achieve his goal of an offer from The University of Oxford.

Luke is a friendly and really patient tutor plus he has a really good understanding for the mechanical topics , he explained the topics that i didn't understand in the uni very well :)

Luke tutored our son for one hour per week via skype in preparation for a Cambridge interview to read engineering. By going through 2 questions each week Luke helped him to understand and develop both the technical/academic level of maths he needed to achieve, how to express his thought process as he worked through each question and how he needed to pick up on cues in the question or from the interviewer. They also worked on other technical aspects, such as, graphs and drawings. Homework/topics to revise were set each week and our son was encouraged to do the questions posted online by Cambridge, all of which created a structure and some momentum to the process. Luke reviewed and commented on the personal statement and also undertook preparation for likely non technical questions. We all received comprehensive feed by way of a written report outlining the questions discussed, areas of strength and those requiring further development etc within 24 hours of each session. Luke was happy to discuss our son's progress with us separately by phone. I would describe Luke's tutoring as highly professional and whether or not our son is successful he has benefitted from the intellectual rigour/demands of Luke's sessions.

Luke managed to prep my 14-year-old for UKiset in just 6 Skype sessions with a spectacular result, including 99% percentile in maths. My son loved working with Luke who was encouraging, positive, constructive and effective.

Luke greatly helped me prepare for Oxford's MAT test. I contacted him before I began and helped me organise my studies along the coming weeks. He provided me plenty of exercises for practice and was always able to make me understand questions I couldn't get my head around by breaking them down into simpler parts that were easier to understand. Overall, I can attest that Luke is a truly amazing tutor and recommend him to anyone needing help with the MAT.

I needed help with some of the maths for my IB mathematics HL internal assessment. Luke was extremely helpful in the short time I was taught by him. He clearly explained all concepts with great clarity and was very flexible in his teaching methods. He answered all questions in a manner which was both easy to follow and highly appropriate in terms of content. I got the impression that he knows his subject very well and is able to cover the complexities of mathematics with great ability. On top of all that, a friendly approach as well. I would highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for help in mathematics.

Luke has tutored my son since September to help him prepare the PAT exam. My son had gaps in his knowledge that needed to be covered very quickly. They meet up once a week over Skype. Luke is providing excellent tutoring, guidance and advice. For example, he gave my son thorough feedback on his Personal Statement. He also always sends us a detailed comment for each session, explaining what was covered, which area was weak or good and what to do to improve. Luke is very efficient and professional. I would highly recommend him for the demanding preparation of the Oxbridge entrance exams.

If your reading this review looking for a tutor , look no further. Luke has been an excellent teacher , and gets my full appraisal. I would recommend him to any one who wants to give themselves the best chance of success.

Give him a shot! :)

Luke is an excellent teacher and mentor. He was an invaluable asset in my preparation for the MAT examination. Luke was always encouraging and extremely helpful when arranging tutorials for me in my different time zone. Highly professional and a really nice guy.
Tom

Luke was extremely helpful and very flexible with his schedule! Because I attend university, sometimes I finish pretty late, but Luke managed to find time to study even at very late hours and was never late a single minute.
I would very much recommend him!

Luke works with my daughter on IB math studies. He not only masters the subject but he is a great tutor: patient, clear in his explanations, professional in his exchanges and always available (even on a Sunday night in case of an 'emergency'). I recommend him without hesitation.

Luke explained the concepts clearly and in ways that were easy to understand without simplifying them too much. He was patient and went at a pace that allowed me to really learn and understand the topics and reach all my targets. I really enjoyed and appreciated having Luke as a tutor and he massively boosted my confidence going into the exams.
I would definitely recommend Luke as a tutor.

Luke provided excellent support. His subject knowledge was comprehensive. Luke was also focused and professional in improving exam technique. I anticipate booking Luke again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him.

Luke has been instrumental in preparing my daughter for the Physics Aptitude Test required for entry to Oxford University and I am delighted to say that she has been offered a place at St Hughes College, Oxford. We shall be retaining Luke's services to ensure that she makes the required 'A" Level grades for entry to Oxford. Luke has tutored all my daughter's sessions on Skype and although I initially was not sure whether this would work it has actually been a complete success. My daughter has found Luke to be an absolute delight to know, he is completely reliable and has helped our daughter to realise her dream of going to Oxford. A wealth of knowledge with regard to Oxbridge entry.

Luke was very organised with my mentoring sessions, being supportive throughout my application to Cambridge, whilst presenting very challenging material to stretch my thinking. This undoubtedly helped with my success in being offered a place to read Engineering.

Luke helped me in maths and physics, as well as advice on my overall application to universities. He was serious, clear and great to work with. I would highly recommend him!

Luke was very professional in his approach to preparing my son for an Oxbridge interview.. He was organised, thorough and challenging. We would highly recommend Luke as a mentor.

Luke spent several sessions with my son on his run in to AS maths this year. In total, he had approximately 10 lessons over Skype. My son found the sessions extremely useful and feels they had a very positive outcome on his performance. We have arranged several more tutorials now to cover A2. From a parents view point, I have found Luke pleasant, approachable and very reliable. He was great with my son. I would commend his services without reservation.

We found Luke a couple of months before my daughter took her Physics AS exams. Luke quickly identified her weaker areas and together they worked on past papers. Luke sets challenging material to work on which always seemed to stretch my daughter and make her think logically. He has been 100% reliable - in fact has probably been the most reliable tutor I have engaged to date. The sessions are done over Skype and although I was not sure about this approach in the beginning it has worked really well for my daughter. The results were amazing and we are continuing to use Luke's services for the foreseeable future - he is now assisting with the preparation of my daughter's personal statement and preparing her for the Physics Aptitude Test. Would highly recommend Luke's services.

Luke was working with my son for his university admission. He was a very good tutor...very dedicated and helpful. He was also always available when my son needed him.

Luke is a fantastic tutor. He is very professional, and is articulate with his explanations. After every session with Luke, I felt like I had learnt and gained a lot more understanding after one hour. Even after the sessions, he is willing to help. He is also kind and patience. I recommend him to anyone.

Luke is an outstanding tutor, very thorough and organised. He is well prepared for lessons and reports back on progress and future goals. He has been tutoring my daughter for her A2 Physics exams. They get on well and he makes the work understandable, she is now far more confident. He has also been very helpful with her exam technique .

Luke was a great tutor. He was very professional, but also friendly and easy to talk to. His technical knowledge was clear and he was able to plan a number of interesting and challenging sessions that enabled me to develop my communication and critical thinking skills. He introduced me to a range of different techniques that allowed me to view problems from a number of approaches. Luke was very accommodating with his session timings, including weekends and late evenings, to fit around my schedule; including a number of sessions via Skype as well as face-to-face meetings. After every session he would return detailed and constructive feedback promptly and was always available to help with queries outside of session times. As a mentor Luke was committed, supportive and genuinely interested in helping me succeed; I would recommend him to anyone.

Luke mentored my son through his Oxbridge applications and also offered career guidance to him. He's a very capable and supportive mentor who was able to build a solid rapport with my son and motivated him to do his best. I can highly recommend Luke.
