Luke is a very engaging teacher, who has a great knowledge of both the course and the evidence needed for Politics. I particularly liked how he helped to structure my responses, helping to improve my marks particularly in the longer answers from mid 70% to above 90%. Definitely recommend.

Luke was an incredibly enthusiastic and engaging tutor in Global Politics. His passion for the subject was clear in every session, making learning both enjoyable and inspiring. He brought an energy that kept discussions dynamic and encouraged deeper thinking about political concepts and real-world issues.
What stood out most was his ability to make complex ideas accessible and engaging. He didn’t just explain topics—he sparked curiosity, challenged perspectives, and made every session feel like a conversation rather than a lesson. His enthusiasm was infectious, making it easy to stay motivated and interested in the subject.
Luke’s dedication and love for Global Politics were evident in the effort he put into each session.
