About Luke

I am highly adept at teaching / tutoring in English and Film Studies across a wide range of age groups and abilities - with a history of consistently enabling students to exceed expectations throughout my career.

Alongside my wealth of experience as a Deputy Head of Sixth Form and in leading subjects at Key Stage 4 & 5, my passion for my subjects (and imparting this with others) stems from a fascination with the use of language, literature and cinema to help us understand more about our shared human experience.

Meanwhile, I am familiar with supporting Key Stage 5 students throughout the application process to secure places at the most prestigious universities in the world (Oxbridge, Russell Group, Ivy League and beyond).

My expertise in supporting students with constructing a wide array of essays is made apparent through the meticulous attention to detail in my feedback and a determination to enhance learners’ understanding and use of sophisticated vocabulary.

I hold a firm overriding belief that learning should be engaging and relatable - as there is no greater fuel towards academic success than a combination of passion and intrigue!

My lessons are focused on driving student progress through industry-leading principles of deliberate practice, feedback and metacognition.

I am passionate about encouraging students to express precise and insightful ideas and inferences within their writing. Plus, throughout all phases of the lesson I encourage the discussion and sharing of perspectives using high level vocabulary, with an underlying focus on the broader contextual intentions of writers or filmmakers - the understanding of which is pivotal in pushing students towards top level grades.

Each session is planned meticulously in line with specific learning objectives which are planned out sequentially towards the attainment of both mid and long term goals.

A typical session (between 1 to 2 hours) may look like this:

1. Testing retrieval of key knowledge from present and prior learning
2. A small skill based written task utilising this knowledge with purpose and then reflecting on their successes and areas for improvement
3. Establishing a clear objective for the lesson by discussing a previous piece of work and using model examples to outline what progress would look like in relation to specific skills and knowledge
4. Looking at a similar exam-style question and constructing a clear overarching point / thesis statement
5. An extended response to that question with live-marking and instantaneous verbal feedback in line with the lesson objective
6. Setting a written task and wider reading to be completed before the next session
