Me as a Teacher
My style is more of a relaxed, informal approach. I will obviously have a structure to the lessons, but wish to adapt them according to what the student requires.
So if you are seeking lessons in basic spoken English, or all the way to suitable professional level proficiency in English, I am more than happy to help.
If nothing else, I can only give encouragement and I will be happy to support anyone who wants to try! That is the key to learning anything - showing eagerness to want to learn and effort!
My lessons & teaching style
My initial lesson will be used to measure the students grasp of English, and to understand what they seek from the lessons. I will adapt my lessons accordingly from there, so if you are looking to improve your written work, I am here for you as much as I am here to support you in saying your first words!
I believe in having patience and supporting! I am here to give feedback too, and reassure students that English, while a daunting language, is not as daunting as it may first seem.
All students must be over 18 and have at least an intermediate (B1-B2) level of English

I think this has been my best Italki lesson so far! I can only recommend taking lessons with Luke because he‘s a nice, intelligent and fun person! I love that he‘s teaching me many new words and I enjoy the conversations and learning about his perspective and point of view. Looking forward to talking to you again, Luke :)

Luke is an extraordinary teacher. He is not only intelligent, patient, and engaging, but also genuinely dedicated to his students. He treats each person individually and truly cares about their learning needs.
Lessons with Luke are much more than just English classes - they are meaningful conversations that stay with you. His broad knowledge of the topics we discuss, from social issues to science and world history, helps me improve not only my speaking skills but also my understanding of the world. What I appreciate most is his ability to explore topics in depth in a way that feels natural and never overwhelming.
I highly recommend lessons with him, especially if you feel stuck with traditional grammar-focused learning and want something more inspiring and enriching.
Thank you so much, Luke, I truly enjoy every lesson with you.

I can highly recommend Luke to anyone who wants to improve their English in a motivating and supportive environment.
He has helped me become much more confident in using the English language and continuously encourages me to overcome my inner barriers. His lessons are varied and tailored to my individual needs — including exercises, discussions, reading tasks, and grammar practice — which has significantly expanded my understanding of English.
The atmosphere in class is always positive and engaging. We laugh a lot, he provides a wide range of helpful synonyms, and he patiently guides me through every challenge. Luke is open-minded, full of energy, and always finds different ways to explain things until they truly make sense.
If you are looking for a teacher who challenges you, supports you, and makes learning enjoyable at the same time, Luke is an excellent choice :)
