Great Tutor
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.

Excellent tutor, I would definitely recommend him to anyone
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.
Outcome:
I feel this was invaluable interview preparation for me. It gave me the confidence in my abilities that I needed and helped me to form strategies for answering the more challenging interview questions

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.

Excellent service
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 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.

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.

Luke Scott
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.

Thoroughly recommend for Oxbridge preparation
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.

Amazing Tutor
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.

Terrific tutor
My son is in year 12 and despite good GCSEs has found it hard to adjust to the demands of AS level, especially in maths and physics. We found Luke on Tutorfair and he has been brilliant. He is knowledgable and versatile, being easily able to switch between maths and physics to cover any of my son's questions and if needed, could also answer questions on his third subject, economics. He takes each question back to first principles to build knowledge up and fill any gaps as well as setting a small amount of homework to test understanding. In addition, we receive a progress report after each session. The best recommendation I can give is that my son looks forward to his session with Luke and comes away from them with his confidence visibly boosted.

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.
