Luke
FOUNDER
I founded Summit Tutors as after 9 years in the industry, it was clear there was a real gap in the market for young, enthusiastic tutors with interests that lie both inside and outside the academic world, my aim was to show that learning can be far more interesting and relevant than many students believe. I have a 1st in Economics, having obtained 12 A*’s and A’s at GCSE and A*AA at A-level. I have tutored hundreds of students and pride myself on the rapport I build with them, and remain in touch with many families after their tutoring journey is over.
Outside tutoring, my main passions in life are sport and fitness. I love football, whether it is playing or watching Southampton FC, going to the gym, as well as hacking it round the golf course. Away from sport, I love reading economics or fantasy books, watching movies and playing video games on the PS5 and Switch!

Maths • Entrance Exam Preparation
Having myself benefitted from excellent teaching in the past and finding a real passion for the subject, I love tutoring Maths. I studied at King Edward VI school in Southampton, gaining 3 9's and 9 A*s at GCSE. After staying there for VI form I was appointed Head of School and received 3 A*s at A level. I am currently studying medicine at Nottingham.
In my spare time I love engaging in sport, music and drama. I played rugby for Hampshire from U14's to U18's but also enjoy playing football with mates. I'm in a band with three friends and have just released our music on Spotify! I have also taught guitar.

English Language • English Literature • Entrance Exam Preparation
As a tutor, I love helping students to find more confidence in themselves and translate their ideas into writing. I recently graduated from Oxford University with a first class degree in English Language and Literature, and I’m now studying for an MA in Classical Acting at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I obtained straight A*s/9s in my GCSEs and at A level I achieved A*A*A English Lit, Spanish and Music.
When I’m not acting or studying, I love playing sports, writing music and looking after my many plants! I played for the women’s rugby team at Oxford (and absolutely loved it) and I’m also a singer and harpist.

MATHS • ENTRANCE EXAM PREPARATION
I've always found helping others with their learning an enriching experience ever since I started assisting my peers while still at school. I attended King Edward VI school in Southampton and achieved all level 9s and A*s at GCSE. I then achieved the highest grades possible at Peter Symonds College, A*A*A*A* in Maths, Economics, Computer Science and EPQ, as well as an A in Further Maths AS. I am currently studying Economics at Warwick University.
Alongside my studies, I play and coach hockey for my local team. When I get the chance I love to sail and have competed at a high level in both sailing and hockey in the past. As an escape, I've always enjoyed long walks and have climbed Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike.

SCIENCE • TRIPLE SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS)
I am currently a Molecular Biology student at the University of St Andrews. I have always loved science and achieved A*A*A in Biology, Chemistry and Physics at A Level as well as completing a psychology-based EPQ. I achieved eight 9s and two 8s at GCSE. I have chosen to specialise in Molecular Biology because I enjoy looking at why biological processes work, how and why they go wrong and trying to find solutions. My approach to learning and tutoring is similar. I have spent a long time breaking down exam papers and study techniques. This makes approaching content-heavy exams, such as Biology, a fun and interesting task. I enjoy using diagrams and past exam questions to help foster an interactive session that builds confidence.
Beyond my studies, I enjoy swimming and have held committee positions for university societies, with responsibility for organising large-scale events. I also enjoy going to music nights with my friends.
Joe
MATHS • ENTRANCE EXAM PREPARATION
For the last 3 years I have loved every tutoring session I’ve taken, especially because I get to talk about maths or economics in almost all of them. Hopefully my tutees feel the same. I’ve continued these passions at the University of Nottingham where I study Economics and am a member of the Finance Technology Society. Beforehand I attended King Edward’s VI School Southampton, earning all 9's and A*'s at GCSE and A*A*A at A level. My endeavour in tutoring is to make my sessions as enjoyable as my old Maths and Economics teachers managed to do for me.
In my spare time I enjoy being outside, either doing any type of water-sport or passing a rugby ball about with my mates. But if those aren't an option, I'm a big fan of throwing on a podcast and heading to the gym.

SCIENCE • TRIPLE SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS)
I am currently a medical student studying at Anglia Ruskin University. I found a love for science throughout my time at school, achieving seven 9s and two 8s for GCSE and then, A*A*A at A-Level. I started my teaching journey with educating young people in my local community about first aid and other life skills which led me to want to support young people to achieve their academic goals as a science tutor!
Outside of academics, I am an avid reader and you will always find me with a new book! If I'm not reading or providing first aid in my community, you will probably see me learning to crochet (I have a way to go!), doing pilates or watching Brooklyn 99 and Grey's Anatomy with friends.
Tijuana
SCIENCE • TRIPLE SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS)
I am currently a medical student at Anglia Ruskin University where I have been awarded Head of School Merit – Top 10 Students. I achieved 10 GCSEs, 7 of which were at grade 8, as well as AAAA* in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and EPQ. My passion for helping students achieve their goals took off when I started my school’s medical society. Since then, I have taken on a variety of tutoring roles.
Aside from studying, I have a variety of hobbies that keep me busy from tennis to art. Art is something that I have been keen on since a young age and enjoyed at GCSE. I have also taken up Spanish on Duolingo!
Abbie
MATHS • ECONOMICS
I’d always look forward to my economics lessons at school as the teaching was engaging whilst having a balance of a friendly environment for discussion. I would love to share this experience with others, allowing students to feel more confident in their ability to solve economic and maths problems. I am currently studying Economics and Management at Bristol University having previous attended King Edward’s VI Southampton. I achieved three A*s, four 9s, two 8s, one 7 and A in GCSE’s, and at A level I gained A*AA in Economics Maths and Chemistry. I also received a chemistry and sports scholarship.
Aside from academics I really enjoy playing sports, having represented Hampshire and Dorset for Hockey and first team hockey and netball at school. Now I continue to enjoy playing competitively at uni. Spending time with my friends and going on adventures is what I love the most, and I was fortunate to travel SE Asia and Australia on my gap year!
Bruno
MATHS • ECONOMICS
I’m an Economics student at the University of Nottingham having studied at King Edward VI School for secondary and sixth form, where I achieved 12 GCSEs at grade 9/A* and A*A*A*A at A level, including A*s in Maths, Economics and Spanish. I’m now a member of the Nottingham Economics and Finance Society Equity Fund and Global Economy group. I love to identify the difference in effective learning methods between students in order to tailor every tutee’s experience for the best possible results.
In my spare time I love to play football and rugby for my teams as well as watching a lot of it too! When I’m not involved in sport I love to play guitar and get outdoors to walk and surf, or just to chill out with my mates playing games and watching films.
Ben
CHEMISTRY
Having initially found Chemistry impossible, I have grown to really enjoy it, to the point that I am now studying it at the University of York. Previously, I was a student at King Edward VI School in Southampton, where I achieved 12 A*/9 Grades at GCSE and 3A*s at A-level. The unusual combination of Maths, Spanish and Chemistry allowed me to develop a genuine enthusiasm for each subject, something I would love to share with others.
Besides studying, I spend a lot of my free time watching rugby, be that on the sofa or in the stadium. When I’m back home, I’m quick to get on the PlayStation, but I also really enjoy playing the drums. And as much as I love being indoors, there is nothing better than kicking a ball around with my mates.
Sakura
HISTORY
I am really passionate about History and hope to use my love for studying the past to create a fun and friendly environment when tutoring, in order to build students confidence and encourage thoughtful engagement with the subject. I am currently studying History at the University of Bristol and by studying English Literature, Government and Politics and History at A level, achieving A*s and As, I have built a strong set of skills and knowledge to support students to achieve success. Outside of my History studies I am working at improving my Japanese with the help of lessons through the University and YouTube.
In my spare time I love being with my friends, cooking together and exploring Bristol especially. Along with playing the clarinet in an Orchestra and travelling, I love to read. Some of my recent recommendations are HomeGoing, A Little Life and The Kite Runner.
Kym
MATHS • ECONOMICS
I am currently studying economics at University College London having previously attended King Edward VI School in Southampton, where I achieved eight 9’s and four A*’s in my GCSEs, and A*A*AA grades in my maths, further maths, economics and english literature A-levels respectively. I was president of the economists’ society in sixth form, and I have gone on to become part of the Economics and Finance society at university. I have a profound passion for maths and economics, something that I would love to pass on to others going through their secondary education.
I also love to keep active by playing rugby for my university 1st team, as well as training in the gym. I also enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s skiing or hiking, or just having a kick about with my mates. At home, I like to play chess and watch films.
Omar
SCIENCE • TRIPLE SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS)
As a current medical student at the University of Nottingham, I am lucky enough to pursue my childhood passion for science. This passion has evolved and developed through my fantastic network of teachers and the support I was given which means I recognise the importance of simplifying and enjoying complex scientific concepts. Achieving A*AA at A-level and 6 Grade 9s/ 3 Grade 8s at GCSE has enabled me to reach where I am today. I believe my previous experience of tutoring and working within multiple youth organisations has enabled me to create a confident and relaxed environment for students to excel.
Outside of my studies, I am a keen cricketer, powerlifter and novice squash player. I also lead and represent my medical school’s volleyball club. In addition to that, I love to hike in my spare time, having recently returned from a breathtaking trip to Madeira, whilst currently looking forward to completing the 3 peaks challenge this year.
Sophie
MATHS • PHYSICS • CHEMISTRY
I am currently studying Chemistry at the University of Oxford, following a strong academic foundation built at King Edward VI School where I achieved all 9’s in my GCSEs. My love for sciences led me to A-level grades of A*A*A*A* in Maths, Chemistry and Physics and an EPQ on hydrogen fuel. Having been an academic scholar throughout my time at KES, I gained the position of Senior Scholar in my final year, through which I spread my passion for learning by organising extension study sessions for GCSE students.
I have always loved music, playing the piano from a young age and more recently achieving my Grade 8. I picked up baking in lockdown and also really enjoy reading. I’m an adventurous person, having been on an expedition to Tanzania where I planted banana trees at a local school and attempted to climb Mount Meru (we very nearly made it to the top!).
Jasper
SCIENCE • TRIPLE SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS)
I am a medical student at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where I am pursuing my passion for medicine and science. At school, I achieved 9 grade 9s and 2 grade 8s at GCSE, followed by A*A*A* in Chemistry, Biology, and Maths at A-Level while studying at Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury. During VI form, I began my tutoring journey with younger students, which sparked my passion for helping others excel academically, particularly in the sciences.
Outside of academics, I enjoy staying active and have been playing rugby and football since I was a kid. At university, I also took up lacrosse, which has become a new favorite. Balancing my studies with sport helps me stay focused and energised, and I really love supporting students in their educational journeys!
Sophie
MATHS • ECONOMICS
I am a logical thinker, which makes Maths and Economics particularly satisfying subjects for me. Their structured problem-solving and real-world applications led me to study Economics at the University of Exeter. I previously attended King Edward VI School and at GCSE achieved seven 9s, two 8s and three A*s. At A-level I obtained A*A*A*A* in Maths, Economics, Art and EPQ.
In my spare time I love to get outdoors, whether going for a run or a long walk. I enjoy being creative through drawing, crochet and knitting. I also love cooking and exploring new food spots around town.
Aoife
English Language • English Literature
My admiration for English and literature has formed a basis for my studies throughout my entire life. Learning and helping others to learn has always been a passion of mine because I love introducing people to the beauty of English studies. I am currently studying English at the University of Exeter, having achieved A*, A, A, A at A-Level in English Literature, History, Philosophy and Ethics and an EPQ. Before that, I achieved 7 9’s, 2 8’s and a 7 at GCSE, with my highest grades being in humanities subjects.
Outside of my studies, I love reading and watching films. My favourite film will always be ‘Inception’ and I can confidently say I have watched it over 50 times. I enjoy going to the gym with friends and socialising amongst books and overpriced coffee!
