[font style="vertical-align: inherit;"][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]My name is Luke, and I am a US Instructor with a wide ranging international experience, and currently residing and working in Moscow, Russia, where I consult privately and for top schools such as Letovo.[/font][/font]
[font style="vertical-align: inherit;"][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]I enjoy helping high-level students achieve their academic goals through English language instruction, academic and essay writing, and preparation for all standardized tests, such as IELTS and IB, for which I am an official examiner. [/font][/font]
[font style="vertical-align: inherit;"][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]Counselled students are currently enrolled in Ivy League universities such as Harvard, NYU, Stanford, Cornell, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, University of Pennsylvania, Brown (USA); [/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College London (UK). [/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]I offer an enjoyable, thought experience provoking and fulfilling learning. As well as the qualifications stated below, I have also attended a number of training courses and seminars organized by Macmillan, Pearson, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, IBO, and British Council . [/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]I am an official for IDP/IELTS, the organizer of the IELTS Exam. I[/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"] am also an IB Diploma Examiner for English A.[/font][/font]
[font style="vertical-align: inherit;"][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]I am available for private consultations. I[/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"] can deliver well-thought out, effective, interactive lessons while keeping my students involved throughout . [/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]I have worked with youth in the past, 6th to 12th grade, both in residential and non-residential settings, therefore I welcome challenges and stimulating learning environments. [/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]Exam students have been able to improve their scores significantly with as little as 5 lessons.[/font][/font]
[font style="vertical-align: inherit;"][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]The teaching philosophy I have developed through the years focuses squarely on students' motivation;I believe this is what makes the difference between academic success and failure.Failure is also a result of personal responsibility, and as such, it might foster growth and success later in a student's life. [/font][font style="vertical-align: inherit;"]Either way, I leave the choice to the student and his / her family. [/font][/font]
