About Luke

I am 'Luke the Tutor' and I am an entrance exam specialist.
I do not use this term lightly.
I have tutored hundreds of students over the past 15 years in preparation of the entrance exams to some of the best Schools in the World (including the UK, Switzerland, and increasingly, the UAE). One of my Masters was on the 11+ and the role of Private Tuition, with my subsequent PhD research focused on private tuition and VR. I have given evidence in Upper Tribunal legal proceedings and was described in the Judgment as someone of "conspicuous learning and an impressive command of the subject matter". My 11+ Preparation 'The Exam Doctor' Series on Amazon is currently the highest rated on the platform (2025). I am regularly interviewed by national press on the 11+ and private tuition, and at one point in 2023 I was tutoring the ruling family members of 3 different sovereign countries (and yes, they all pay the same rate!)
Unlike many other tutors, I am selective (just like the schools you are applying to!).
All potential students must undertake a compulsory 'initial assessment' like the hundreds before them. This allows me to get an idea of both their current ability ('knowledge') based on how many they get right; and insight into their future ability ('potential') based on how quickly / competently they are able to learn content they do not know on the assessment. Equipped with this information, and the baseline scores of hundreds of students prior that have gone on to win places at the target school - I will then give an honest appraisal of the likelihood of success were they to be tutored.
This approach is important for two main reasons: 1) it grounds any assessment in objectivity, which matches the reality of these competitive exams; 2) it allows parents to make informed, realistic choices which in an area famously shrouded in uncertainty is enormously valuable.
In some instances, it might be the case that based on a child's starting level and the average progression made by my previous students in the time we have before exams that a school like SPGS or Westminster is just unrealistic - and that another school may be more realistic. It might also be the case that despite a lower starting level, the student showed massive future potential and we should absolutely back them all the way!
While there is less of an 'objective' grouding to such potential, this is where my intuition comes in and so far I have been fortunate enough to get it right! Indeed - one student scored 32% and 65% on the initial assessment, and 8 years later he is still with me and not only did he win his place at Dulwich, and then Westminster, but actually was the best performing GCSE student in the Country in 2023 and hopes to attend Oxford next year (well done Henry!)
With the above in mind, it is perhaps of little surprise that I remain consistently oversubscribed each year. I usually allocate my tuition diary for the academic year on the 1st of August, and for the past 8 years it has been completely booked by the end of the day with 3 students (younger siblings) currenly on waiting lists. While many would simply double their prices in light of such demand, I have always wanted to remain (relatively) affordable to all types of family and appreciate that for many sacrifices elsewhere are made. This is also the reason why I limit each family to a maximum of two classes a week.
This is why for me your child's success in the entrance examinations is a full-time occupation and one that I rightly take incredibly seriously - I am not squeezing lessons in during the summer holidays or after work / a day of teaching.

I'm so happy that I chose Luke to assist with my Law Coursework, I had also asked someone else to do it (£20 ph) and when their essay arrived the day before due date it was complete jibberish!! It would have definitely been a fail and I was in a complete panic. Luke saved the day and was professional and helpful throughout. I guess you get what you pay for! I will definitely be using you again!
Thank you for your help on both the Tort and EU Coursework! I definitely have struggled with EU law but your comments are teaching me how to really evaluate my work.
Thanks to your help our son has turned around all his results and is now off report card too! We can't thank you enough!
We just got the exam results - I'll be hitting the vino tonight! I might even stretch to a bottle of champers!
We feel that, thanks to you, both sons are up to speed with Maths now
When you employ Luke, rest assured you are employing the best. This peace of mind alone is worth paying for. I would get full answers to my law essay questions within about 10 minutes. Any day of the week, any time of day. Phenomenal service. Luke helped me complete two essays in two weeks - First class!
Luke isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination but I can honestly say he is worth every penny! Frankly, before we were paying £130 an hour using a top London tutor agency and I was more than happy to deal directly with Luke - Very impressed by his level of professionalism and expertise. Results exceeded all expectations
Luke is tutoring me for my maths GCSE retakes.He is very helpful and goes through everything you need to know! He is very professional and I am happy at the pace he works at, if you're stuck he goes through and explains the different steps so you understand it. I would recommend him to anyone!
Luke is tutoring my daughter for her entrance examinations to Claremont Fan Court School. In a little over one week of intensive study, he covered the whole maths curriculum. My daughter has dyslexia and Luke made all resources customised for her. He is brilliant.
