Luke H.

Luke is a dedicated tutor based in Marietta, Georgia, bringing a rare combination of academic excellence and real-world resilience to every student he works with. A four-time consecutive Dean’s List honoree at Kennesaw State University, Luke graduated with honors in Biology in December 2025 and has since been accepted into KSU’s Master of Science in Integrative Biology program. His ability to connect with students of all ages is no accident. Luke is the youngest in his family, both his parents were the youngest in theirs, and he spent years studying alongside people much younger than himself after returning to college at 38, giving him a natural ease in spanning generations. His teaching instincts were recognized early at KSU, where his own classmates elected him (despite the position not being an election!) as their Supplemental Instruction leader for Introduction to Biology while he was still taking the course, a distinction that speaks for itself.

Having personally navigated diagnoses of ADHD and OCD throughout his studies, Luke brings genuine empathy and creative problem-solving to students who learn differently. His sessions are built around analogies, drawing concepts out visually, and focusing only on the very next step so students never feel overwhelmed. He looks forward to working with students from elementary through high school in Science, English, Reading, Writing, and Social Studies. When he is not tutoring, Luke is a huge nerd who has to keep busy, spending his time remodelling, painting miniatures, playing bass, tinkering with hobby electronics, and living by his personal motto: “No growth in comfort, no comfort in growth.”

To that end, Dr. Barclay tries to create a tailored tutoring approach, specific to the learner by walking the student through a range of assignments, including homework assignments and projects. When necessary, Dr. Barclay even communicates with the student’s teachers about missed work and additional resources that could enrich the student’s education. His commitment and wholistic approach to tutoring is seen in the success of his students – many of whom see significant improvements in test scores and overall GPA.

Finally, it should be noted that the breadth of Dr. Barclay’s teaching experience has given him opportunities to teach a wide range of students from the general student population to students with learning, mental, or physical disabilities. Indeed, some of Dr. Barclay’s students with special needs continued to be tutored by him even after graduating high school. Through his teaching experiences, Dr. Barclay recognizes that learning is a life-long journey and he is happy to play a role in the learner’s journey.
