About Luke


Bio

Hello there! My name is Luke and I am a professional physics life saver! I am a graduate of MIT with 7 years experience in tutoring. I've been through the whole physics shebang and know the ins an outs as well as the traps to watch out for. I've worked with physics students all over the country including those at Ivy League schools and top technical academic institutions. I specialize in all physics courses at the high school level.

Hello there! My name is Luke and I am a professional physics life saver! I am a graduate of MIT with 7 years experience in tutoring. I've been through the whole physics shebang and know the ins an outs as well as the traps to watch out for. I've worked with physics students all over the country including those at Ivy League schools and top technical academic institutions. I specialize in all physics courses at the high school level. At the college level I tutor in Classical Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism both of which I have been a TA for at MIT.

I love to simplify complex concepts into something students can digest. Breaking concepts into pieces that students understand followed by repetition is the best way to mastering any physics concept. While tutoring with me I encourage constant communication as this is the best way to make sure the information sticks. I consider myself an extremely patient individual. If you don't understand something we will go over it as much as you need and my philosophy is that any question is a valid question.

I hope to work with you! I am easy to talk to and really hope we can work together to solve your problems. Reach out and we can find a time suitable for both you and me. My background in STEM subjects will be a perfect match for your questions.

I have a thorough and exhaustive background in physics and mathematics from grade school to college. Here are a couple of my testing Statistics:I scored an 800/800 on the SAT Physics subject Test. I scored a 35/36 on the Math ACT. I scored 770/800 on Math SAT. I scored 780/800 on the SAT Math II Subject Test. I got a 5/5 on the AP Calculus BC Test.

Physics tutor

My son loves Luke. He has been working with him for several weeks. Luke takes his time and really engages my son to figure the problems out. He explains well and really helps my son understand. When it was time for finals, Luke made home self available almost every night. We totally recommend him.

Wonderful!

Luke was extremely helpful! He tutored my brother in high school physics and ensured he had complete understanding of the material. My brother really enjoys working with Luke and has shown great improvement in his physics class.

Super Solid Tutor

Luke has helped me practice and whenever I am stuck on a problem he knows how to help me figure it out so I can do some more like it. Also, he helps me focus on my studying and shows me that he has a plentiful amount of knowledge on the subject, as well as being patient and chill and helping me through one problem even if it takes an hour. Really great guy.

Excellent AP Math and Physics tutor

Luke has taught my son Calculus BC and Physics. He is extremely good in both the areas. He is very knowledgeable and have good teaching techniques. My son improved his grades over all and felt more confident handling the tests. He also mentored my son on college applications and opportunities that was icing on the cake. He is genuinely interested in helping the student. He is highly recommened for highschoolers who needs help in Math and physics areas.

Very patient and super knowledgeable

Luke is a phenomenal physics tutor and really does care about your success. He explains hard concepts with ease and is very patient. I struggled a lot with understanding the concepts at first but after my lesson with Luke it is so much clearer. I highly recommend Luke and I would rate my lesson a 10/10!

Helpful and Easy to Understand

Luke helped me study for an exam in E and M Physics. Specifically he helped me better understand how to find the resistance of a circuit. His approach and teaching style were very helpful and easy to follow.
