About Luke
Hello! I’m Luke, and I am an incoming freshman at Columbia studying economics, finance, and entrepreneurship. I attended one of the most prestigious high schools in the nation and graduated in the top 2% of the class. I was the President of the #1 math competition team in the nation and have won multiple awards at the state and national level. I earned a perfect score of 1600 on the SAT, and have been recognized as a National Merit Scholar, Coca Cola Scholar (top 150 out of 91,000), and US Presidential Scholar Semifinalist (top 628 out of 3.6 million) based on my recent academic achievements.
I look forward to working with you and expanding your child’s knowledge!
Classes
I will offer 2 packages in 2023 and 2024: Algebra (Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, or Algebra II) for middle or high-schooler(s) and Calculus (Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1/AB, or Calculus 2/BC) for high-schooler(s)
-Each Package includes a complimentary meeting with parents to define objectives for the tutoring sessions and to create tailored lesson plans for the student(s). A personalized curriculum and schedule will be coordinated to ensure that each student is adequately prepared before every assessment (or competition, if applicable).
-Classes will consist of exam preparation, homework review, and practice exercises, with periodic progress assessments and parent reports to track the student’s improvement. Additionally, students will learn studying, memorization, and exam strategies to succeed academically beyond this package.
-Classes are provided online using Zoom, Facetime, or Google Meet. An IPad on the latest software update is recommended for most-efficient interactions.
-Days and times are to be coordinated with the teacher. Efforts will be made to center the schedule around their school lesson plans and exams. However, a minimum of 1 to 2 classes needs to be taken each week in order to maximize results and ensure that the full package is taken within the defined time frame.
-For math classes with two or three students, all of them need to be in the same class and school to ensure that classes are tailored to their lesson plans for exam preparation and studying (see benefits of adding a student).
Waiver
The teacher does not make any guarantee of any future results, rewards, success, or achievements as part of the tutoring package.
It is important to note that the effectiveness of the tutoring sessions depends greatly on the effort, dedication, and commitment of the student. While the teacher will provide comprehensive instruction, practice, and support, the ultimate outcome of the tutoring sessions will be influenced by the student’s individual effort and engagement in the learning process. The tutoring package is designed to provide students with the necessary tools, resources, and guidance to improve their skills and knowledge in the targeted areas. However, the success of the tutoring sessions relies on the student’s active participation, practice, and willingness to learn. It is important for the student to come prepared for each session, complete assigned tasks, practice outside of the tutoring sessions, and actively engage in the learning activities provided by the teacher.
