I recently graduated from Trinity University in 2022 and had plenty of experience writing long essays covering subjects in economics, art history, architectural theory, design, and history, and urban ... studies. Papers ranged from exposes to detailed research papers up to 20 pages in length. While at Trinity University, I wrote two 25-page research papers covering the Ancient Achaemenid Empire and Babylonian Empire as part of an independent research partnership with the head of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian Studies Department. As an urban studies major and architectural studies minor, the majority of my classes involved multiple essays for a major part of the grade. I also was a reporter for the Trinity University Yearbook for over a year in which I wrote 250-word spreads covering topics including current events, school events, and student activity weekly. More recently, I completed applications for Architecture Graduate Schol in which I wrote at least 15 different personal statements for the 8 schools that I applied to (Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Rice, USC, University of Toronto, MIT). My experience with this gives me confidence in the ability to assist students with application essays as well. I am an avid writer (journaling, creative writing) which gives me confidence that I can help students appreciate the essence and joy of writing outside of the academic realm.read more

Hi! I'm Luke, and I am originally from Orange County, California, but I grew up in Southwest Houston. I have a passion for teaching students not only for their improvement but to grow their appreciati... on for the magic of learning. I teach writing, reading comprehension, art and architectural history, but specialize in architectural history and architecture drafting skills. I also specialize in application essay writing and portfolio submissions -- specifically for Architecture School. I really enjoy hearing why students are interested in what they are doing, and I have a strong passion for bringing out the best in every student! Outside of my academic endeavors and tutoring services, I am an avid runner, cyclist, and occasionally a swimmer. I love to make art in my free time and I also read as much as I can! I can't wait to get started learning with you!read more
