About
Hi there, I'm Luke! After qualifying as a solicitor, I transitioned into education and have been working as an online Maths tutor for the past few years. I currently teach GCSE Maths at a local college, combining my expertise with a passion for helping students succeed.
My lessons go beyond simply solving maths problems. I incorporate real-world examples to make learning meaningful and relevant. My goal is to equip students with the skills they need, not just for exams, but for life beyond the classroom. I am incredibly friendly, supportive, and energetic in my lessons, always providing positive encouragement. I help students recognize their progress, build confidence, and take pride in their achievements.
Outside of teaching, I'm an avid football fan, I love playing video games, spending time with my cat, and making the most of my free time with my partner and friends.
I have extensive experience preparing students for 11+ exams, SATs, and GCSEs, helping them achieve academic success regardless of their starting ability. I work with students across the spectrum, from those with special educational needs to those with a natural aptitude for maths, and I firmly believe that no two students learn the same way. That’s why I tailor my lessons to each student’s unique needs, ensuring a personalised and adaptable approach to learning.
I have completed my PGCE qualification, which involved teaching GCSE Maths to 16–18-year-old students at a local college. In addition, I have years of experience in online education, having taught students aged 8 to 18 in both one-to-one and group settings.
Parents and students often praise my patient and understanding approach. I adopt a more conversational style, scaffolding learning and guiding students to the answer through subtle questioning rather than simply giving it to them.
This not only gives students a greater sense of pride and ownership over their learning, but it also develops their critical thinking skills, an essential and highly transferable skill for their future.
Whether you find maths challenging, excel at it, or fall somewhere in between, my lessons are designed to support and push you to the next level.

What a great start to my sons extra tuition - Luke was very patient and friendly and knew how to get the best out of my son (who is quite shy), Luke is very knowledgeable about the curriculum so I feel confident that my son is learning what he needs to in order to confidently pass his GCSE maths. Thank You

Luke’s been really good helping me with GCSE maths. He explains things properly without overcomplicating it and makes lessons feel relaxed rather than stressful. I’ve definitely become more confident with topics I used to struggle on and feel much better going into exams now. Would happily recommend him to anyone needing extra help with maths.l

My son has been a student of Luke’s for the past 2 years and he’s simply the perfect tutor, we absolutely love him. I’ve watched my son’s confidence and school grades rise exponentially since we began tutoring and I’m so appreciative of the effort that Luke puts into the lessons. He’s calm, measured and his explanations always resonate for my son, who can sometimes struggle with certain concepts. I’d recommend Luke to anyone interested in improving their child’s understand of maths.
Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Luke's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Luke has been tutoring our son who is in his second year of Secondary School. He is an excellent tutor who delivers a comprehensive lesson each week. Our son enjoys his sessions with Luke and looks forward to them each week. With Luke’s guidance we have seen wonderful progress not only in English and Maths but also in his overall learning and confidence. Highly recommend!!!
Luke replied

Luke is amazing, really connects with my Son who hates learning, since working with Luke he’s already moved up a set in Maths and seems to be enjoying normal school much more
Luke replied

Luke is an excellent teacher who my 14 year old son enjoys his lessons with, to the point he refuses to be taught by anybody else. My son see's luke as a friend not just a teacher and sometimes i over hear them talking and laughing which is what tommy needs. Im very grateful to have found Luke for my son who is home schooled i cannot reccomend him enough.
Luke replied
Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for your kind words; I've been incredibly proud of the progress we've made together. It's been a pleasure tutoring your son and I'm so happy to hear how much he enjoys our sessions. Luke
