Luke
Experienced Tutor with a Passion for History and Writing
I have a broad knowledge of history that I’ve been working to expand ever since I was young. I pursued a rigorous education in many fields of history, getting a 5 on the World History and European History APs, 800s on the World History and US History SAT Subject Tests, and a degree in history from New York University. I worked for a time at the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History making educational videos to help train history teachers. I also have substantial experience in both cre...

It was a great first lesson with Luke today. He is the perfect fit for my daughter's current educational needs. He is patient and gentle in his approach, and thoroughly involved my daughter in the process of meaning and knowledgeable construction, allowing her to think more deeply and encouraging her to apply critical thinking to her projects.

Luke is a very patient and seriously invested tutor. He is careful to make sure concepts are mastered before moving forward. His knowledge exceeds the textbooks and he presents history as a compelling story. What a find!

My daughter just finished a series of tutoring sessions with Luke to help her prepare for the AP US history exam. Luke was tremendously effective. My daughter mostly wanted help preparing for the writing portions of the exam. Luke read her practice essays and showed her specifically how to improve her theses and the choice and organization of the material that she included. He also showed her strategies for writing answers to essays questions where she only had partial knowledge of the relevant material. Finally, he reviewed the syllabus and reading material from her high school U.S. history class and prepared material for her to fill in the major content areas that would be included on the AP exam that had not been covered in her class. My daughter went into the exam confident and ready to succeed. Finally, Luke was accommodating of my daughter's busy schedule. I was completely satisfied with Luke's tutoring.

He helped me get through Preproduction materials to completer within a day for example Shot list Script and Storyboard and Call Sheet. asks lots of question? I'm currently doing a script for my finals as well asked by my teacher since he gave me helpful feedback on it and help to improve. My teacher gave me an unsatisfactory report on it. So I have to keep on writing in order to improve. better
