English, Common Entrance, Pre-test, Oxbridge Applications
A first-class Oxford English graduate and former English teacher at Harrow School, Luke has tutored students from pre-test through to university admissions.
Luke graduated with a First in English Language and Literature from Christ Church, Oxford, where he was one of the twelve original Reuben Scholars and his Finals papers on Shakespeare and Beckett were classed as publishable. At The King’s School, Chester he was Head of School and won the Westminster Medal, the school’s top academic award, alongside A*s in English Literature, Mathematics and Physics.
In 2015 Luke took up a teaching post at Harrow School, teaching IGCSE English Language and Literature, lecturing A-level students on Shakespeare and serving as Master-in-Charge of Debating and Director-in-Residence. He has tutored privately throughout, taking students from B to A* and C to A at IGCSE and preparing candidates for Common Entrance, Pre-test and Cambridge applications. He also worked as an Interviews Assistant at Christ Church.
Luke believes the best tutors are driven by a desire to keep learning. With a lasting interest in mathematics (his dissertation explored quantum physics in the work of James Joyce), he often takes an interdisciplinary approach, using a student’s strengths in other subjects to unlock their potential in English.
