Reviews

I had one tutoring and mini mock session in preparation for both Curtin and UWA interviews. I found the feedback and resources to be very useful! Availability for tutoring sessions was also very flexible, even on a short notice. I'm very appreciative for all the help!

Luca is an amazing teacher! He has a relaxed, focused and goal oriented approach to tutoring. I engaged Luca as a tutor for my daughter 6 weeks prior to her year 12 exams, and Luca was able to cover the whole chemistry curriculum in a systematic and organised manner in just 6 weeks. Lucaโ€™s teaching style not just made chemistry easier for my daughter but also made her love the subject!! Absolutely recommend Luca for any student looking for a committed teacher who makes the learning process easy and enjoyable !!

He's an amazing person with great devotion for students. He suggests insightful ideas within his advice on how to develop our own ideas. His help really guided me through the ib ToK course.

Luca is a patient and dedicated tutor with a remarkable ability to connect with children from diverse backgrounds, including those with learning difficulties. His teaching style is both adaptable and creativeโ€”he tailors each session to suit the studentโ€™s unique needs, making learning engaging and approachable. Luca uses clear explanations and positive reinforcement that fosters motivation and confidence.
